8 Good catch, thanks. I've verified the list against SPDX license list
9 and ::gentoo repo now, and removed "W3C-document" and "GPL-3-with-
10 autoconf-exception" that we (no longer?) have.

28 To be honest, I'm wondering whether copying the list from cargo-ebuild
29 is a good idea after all. Perhaps we should just copy the most common
30 licenses (i.e. GPLs/BSD/MIT...) that are easy to match, and add other
31 licenses as we need them (and verify in the process).

33 I've created a PR to track the current status:
