Brian,
I am tinkering with adding support for LICENSE in cygport-> license: in
src.hint, exposing that in the package summary data, backfilling from
existing cyports and validating those as SPDX license expressions.
I see that you've used:
LICENSE=MIT-like
LICENSE_SPDX="SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT-like"
I don't see 'MIT-like' on https://spdx.org/licenses/, so I wonder if you
could explain where that comes from?
