  Description     : Library for looking up and identifying SPDX licences

This library can lookup a list of SPDX licences on spdx.org, and provide them
as a list of information that can be handled by your code. You can also use
this to lookup whether a certain licence is an SPDX license or not, and thus
programatically identify certain licences in code or other structured
information.


This library is a dependency to metadata-json-lint, which in turn is needed
for packaging puppet-development-kit (pdk) which I'm working towards packaging.

I intend to maintain this within the ruby team, and will ask for a sponsor
within the team.
