ITP SPDX-licence-check?, then cygport and calm can depend on it, and we can all
be the patrol cop pulling over packages to check their licences ;^>
SPDX appears to be like tzdb was years ago, with both code and data updates

Good enough for calm is good enough for us, and anyone who doen't like something
can offer patches.
