Certain internal Microsoft tools check NuGet license information by
using ClearlyDefined curated data to determine verified license
information for packages which don't "clearly define" their license.
Unfortunately, a license URL is not considered "clearly defined",
likely because it isn't really machine readable. (Just because the
URL contains "MIT" doesn't mean it's actually MIT.)
As part of this effort, NuGet deprecated the
<licenseUrl/>element, and MSBuild deprecated the
$(PackageLicenseUrl)MSBuild property. The NuGet
<license/>element or$(PackageLicenseExpression)MSBuild property should be used.Replace
$(PackageLicenseUrl)with$(PackageLicenseExpression),with a value of
MIT AND BSD-3-Clause. The value needs to be anSPDX identifier, and as OpenTK contains both MIT and 3-clause
BSD license text within
Documentation/Licennse.txt, using theANDexpression feels appropriate.This change should satisfy ClearlyDefined.
