Description Graham Perrin freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2023-05-13 23:01:46 UTC 
Aim for <https://www.freebsd.org/internal/software-license/> and article <https://docs.freebsd.org/en/articles/license-guide/> to be consistent with each other.

The article describes use of non-existent directories such as: 

    LICENSES
    LICENSE


Re: BSD-2-Clause-FreeBSD, 

> … A review of its current use is ongoing.

From yesterday's <https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=4d846d260e2b9a3d4d0a701462568268cbfe7a5b>, I assume that the review is complete: 

> spdx: The BSD-2-Clause-FreeBSD identifier is obsolete, drop -FreeBSD

…
Comment 1 Graham Perrin freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2023-05-13 23:09:49 UTC 
Markup might be wrong in this part of the article: 

> 2. For each sub-expression, copy the license text from 
>    LICENSE/text/id.txt. When exceptions are present, append them from 
>    src/share/license/exceptions/id.txt. SPDX-License-Identifier 
>    expressions should be construed as described in the SPDX standard.
> 
> Where id is the SPDX short license identifier from the Identifier column of SPDX Identifiers or license exception. …

Has there been loss of a numbered list item? Or should the sentence that begins "Where" be part of the preceding item?
Comment 2 Graham Perrin freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2023-05-13 23:25:43 UTC 
<https://spdx.org/> redirects to <https://spdx.dev/>. 

What should be a numbered list is misrepresented as sentences beginning with 
". ".
