Description
Prior to this PR, the extract script would get the latest official SPDX licenses update the licenses in text files in the
cmd
dir where the script was run. It created the list of licenses in the format used inspdxexp/spdxlicenses
functions (i.e.GetLicense()
,GetExceptions()
,GetDeprecated()
). The lists were copied manually to each of these functions.This PR avoids the need for manually updating the functions by having the extract script rewrite the files under
spdxexp/spdxlicenses
directly to update the functions with the new list of SPDX licenses.At this point, the script still has to be called manually, but it is moving toward being run nightly by an action.
