SPDX clears confusion around software licenses

Thanks for your comment, Heiko. The SPDX site has information on how to use it in a file header or as a separate information file: https://spdx.org/using-spdx

There are tools to search software for license issues, I believe they could be used to audit the correctness of SPDX info. SPDX provides a list of commercial and community tools at https://spdx.org/tools
