Hello all!

I've opened an RFC for transitioning the license field in PKGBUILDs from our existing format to the SPDX license expression specification. This is my first RFC, and I want to thank Foxboron for his help with the process so far. You can find the MR here:

Please visit the above link for discussion.

There hasn't been a lot of discussions on this one. Is it too dense?

I'd appreciate if people could spend a few moments looking over it as it would affect all packages in our repositories.

I think the next step is to start a new git project for our license package and then we can probably move forward with this proposal.
