Hi Jonathan and Ximin,

given that the current specification does not forbid unpecified fields,
I would recommend to test the proposed License-Exception field in real,
by convincing package maintainers and parser providers to use and support it.

This can be tracked by a opening a separate bug, so that the propositions can
be considered independantly, unless it would be pointless to introduce a new
field for license exceptions without introducing a syntax for license short
names.

Cheers,
