How should be a SPDX license name when extracting from another file content?

50 Views Asked by At

Following the SPDX simple license expressions and the License identifier field example, when creating a custom license that's not listed in licenses list (including exception), I could use LicenseRef-ACME, where ACME is my company name, or even, my project name in a repository.

However, when having to extract a license text from a header, to distribute that custom license as a separated file, I'm not sure about:

  • The license name that should be used (e.g. LicenseRef-ProjectName)
  • The license file name that should be used (e.g. LICENSE)
  • Custom fields in the license file to refer where I extract that text.

I read about DocumentRef, but I'm not sure if it's the case, and how to use it.
