Closes #127. |

@jgneff Thanks for the PR. Do you need this included in the next publication of the license list? If so, I can spin another release of the utility. |
@goneall Thanks, Gary. You can update the website whenever is convenient. I suspect most people don't click through from the Ubuntu and GNOME Software apps to the SPDX website, but it's just something that has been bothering me for quite some time. By the way, I was going to be even more specific with the text "This SPDX license identifier has been deprecated since license list version ...", but "SPDX" is not used anywhere else on the page when talking about the identifier, so I just added the one word. |

+1 to the change, definitely clearer with adding "identifier" here. Thank you @jgneff! |
|
+1 - agreed, this is more accurate. Good catch! |
|
The check failed due to a known issue #129 I'll go ahead and merge the PR. |
