Description Jan Vermaete 2026-05-21 16:55:09 UTC
The WXwindows-exception-3.1 license is a valid SPDX license [1].
And used in the `openscenegraph` recipe of meta-ros [2].
Generating the spdx (do_create_spdx) is now failing for this recipe.

Could this license be added to the `spdx-licenses.json` file?

I looks like there is the licenses.json file.  That is the file the scripts is fetching and using.
And there is also an exceptions.json file.  And here the wxwindows-exception-3.1 is defined.  But the script is not fetching it.
