Description
According to the spec license expressions case sensitivity section, SPDX license IDs should be treated as case insensitive while LicenseRef's should be considered case sensitive.
Currently, if 2 license refs are found that differ only in case, an error is generated.
This situation should be allowed.
For example:
{
"licenseId": "LicenseRef-BSD-3-clause-GENERIC",
"extractedText": "NOASSERTION",
"name": "BSD-3-clause-GENERIC"
},
[...]
{
"licenseId": "LicenseRef-BSD-3-clause-generic",
"extractedText": "NOASSERTION",
"name": "BSD-3-clause-generic"
},
should be allowed.
The error generated is Analysis exception processing SPDX file: Object URI ...#LicenseRef-BSD-3-clause-generic already exists.
