`reuse` is a tool of which I am the upstream author, written for the Free Software Foundation Europe's REUSE Initiative. The REUSE Initiative is a set of best practices for developers to license their software in a way that is standardised and computer-parseable. The recommendations are broken up in three parts:
1. Provide the exact text of each license used.
2. Include a copyright notice and license in each file.
3. Provide an inventory for included software.
Hi Carmen, most packages here at openSUSE are just downstream, so I think the use of 'reuse' is limited to checking what upstream has put in their files? When using it upstream: is this initiative of the FSF coordinated e.g. with the GNU standards? I didn't see any discussion about "SPDX-License-Identifier"s on the GNU mailing lists.
