Description Miroslav Suchý 2024-09-07 06:38:18 UTC
The license of bacula
  https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/bacula/blob/rawhide/f/bacula.spec#_19
states
  AGPL-3.0-only with exceptions

This is the not valid expression. Neither SPDX expression nor allowed expression.

Valid expression will be
  AGPL-3.0-only WITH $exception

where $exception is id from this list https://spdx.org/licenses/preview/exceptions-index.html 
And the whole string "AGPL-3.0-only WITH $exception" needs to be in fedora-license-data set. 

I encourage you to identify the exception and if it is not on fedora-license-list open issue at https://gitlab.com/fedora/legal/fedora-license-data

Reproducible: Always

Comment 2 Richard Fontana 2024-11-23 02:13:23 UTC
Bacula is a special case where we are using `LicenseRef-Bacula` to represent the entire contents of the LICENSE file at https://gitlab.com/bacula-org/bacula/-/blob/Branch-11.0/bacula/LICENSE?ref_type=heads
See See: https://gitlab.com/fedora/legal/fedora-license-data/-/issues/277

Comment 3 Miroslav Suchý 2024-11-23 09:35:43 UTC
But that was not propagated to dist-git https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/bacula/blob/rawhide/f/bacula.spec#_19
