Description
SPDX released a new version of their license list including identifiers for the FSF licenses that include +
suffixes in the license identifiers. The expression syntax long allowed appending a +
to any identifier to indicate that license or any later version. Now +
is also a valid and used character in license identifiers themselves. Including after the new IDs, like GPL-1.0++
, with no clear meaning.
The current parser was written back before the new IDs, when it was safe to assume +
always appeared as an independent lexical element.
