pull: Add TAG_OVERRIDES and distinguish gpl-2-compatible from gpl-3-compatible
From [1]:
Unless otherwise specified, compatible licenses are compatible with
both GPLv2 and GPLv3.
For AGPLv3.0 [2]:
Please note that the GNU AGPL is not compatible with GPLv2. It is
also technically not compatible with GPLv3 in a strict sense: you
cannot take code released under the GNU AGPL and convey or modify it
however you like under the terms of GPLv3, or vice versa. However,
you are allowed to combine separate modules or source files released
under both of those licenses in a single project, which will provide
many programmers with all the permission they need to make the
programs they want.
I'm not clear on what the idea with "technically not compatible" was.
The vice versa thing sounds is certainly not true for Expat,
etc. either, and Expat is listed as compatible without qualifications.
For ECL2.0 [3]:
This is a free software license, and it is compatible with
GPLv3... This patent license and the indemnification clause in
section 9 make this license incompatible with GPLv2.
For freetype [4]:
This is a free software license, and compatible with GPLv3. It has
some attribution requirements which make it incompatible with GPLv2.
For GNUGPLv3 [5]:
Please note that GPLv3 is not compatible with GPLv2 by itself.
However, most software released under GPLv2 allows you to use the
terms of later versions of the GPL as well. When this is the case,
you can use the code under GPLv3 to make the desired combination.
For GPLv2 [6]:
Please note that GPLv2 is, by itself, not compatible with GPLv3.
However, most software released under GPLv2 allows you to use the
terms of later versions of the GPL as well. When this is the case,
you can use the code under GPLv3 to make the desired combination.
So what they really mean is that GPL-2.0+ is GPL-3.0-compatible.
GPL-2.0 (only) is GPL-3.0-incompatible.
For LGPLv3 [7]:
Please note that LGPLv3 is not compatible with GPLv2 by itself.
However, most software released under GPLv2 allows you to use the
terms of later versions of the GPL as well. When this is the case,
you can use the code under GPLv3 to make the desired combination.

pull: Associate FSF's PythonOld with SPDX's Python-2.0 (and others)
The FSF label for PythonOld is "License of Python 1.6b1 through 2.0
and 2.1" [1]. They link to the 1.6b1 text [2]. This set does not
include 1.6a2 and earlier versions [3], and also does not include
2.0.1, 2.1.1, and newer versions [4]. I believe the splits are
exhaustive, based on:
* [5], which mentions 1.6.1, 2.0, 2.1 in this range.
* [6], which mentions no releases in this range.
* [7], which mentions 1.6.1 in this range.

pull: Fix FreeBSD SPDX identifier (to BSD-2-Clause-FreeBSD)
Based on Kate's list [1]. Looking more closely, the FSF's FreeBSD
text [2] includes the "The views and conclusions..." paragraph that is
unique to the BSD-2-Clause-FreeBSD [3]. The FSF's FreeBSD page [2]
also links [4].

pull: Add a script to scrape FSF license IDs, names, and tags
We want to use this to lookup FSF tags associated with a given SPDX
license. The FSF is intestested [1], but maybe not enough to maintain
their own API. Until they do maintain their own API, stub out a mock
API on their behalf, which we can hand over to them when they're
ready for it.
