Thanks for submitting the PR! Usually this is something that would be
discussed via an issue before making a PR. I made one here
https://github.com/spdx/license-list-XML/issues/2242 and will have a
closer look shortly. Also ideally, this patch would not be applied until
the additional markup is confirmed by SPDX (in case this is deemed a new
license and needs a new/different identifier)
thanks,
Jilayne
