Hi Jonas,

I am hoping that given SPDX is advancing towards beta release, they will
fill these pages in a not too long time. But in the meantime, we could
add a link to their license table, if necessary:

diff --git a/dep5.mdwn b/dep5.mdwn
index 09da1e1..1b217de 100644
--- a/dep5.mdwn
+++ b/dep5.mdwn
@@ -383,6 +383,9 @@ of that license, the short name is finished with a plus sign.
 For SPDX compatibility, trailing "dot-zeroes" are considered to be equal
 to plainer version (e.g., "2.0.0" is considered equal to "2.0" and "2").
