    [various]: unify names of licenses according to SPDX · 63f5e7d2
    Jakub Jirutka authored
    This commit updates $license variable in all APKBUILDs to comply with
    short names specified by SPDX version 3.0 [1] where possible. It was
    done using find-and-replace method on substrings inside $license
    variables.
    
    Only license names were updated, not "expressions" specifying relation
    between the licenses (e.g. "X and Y", "X or Y", "X and (Y or Z)") or
    exceptions (e.g. "X with exceptions").
    
    Many licenses have a version or multiple variants, e.g. MPL-2.0,
    BSD-2-Clause, BSD-3-Clause. However, $license in many aports do not
    contain license version or variant. Since there's no way how to infer
    this information just from abuild, it were left without the variant
    suffix or version, i.e. non SPDX compliant.
    
    GNU licenses (AGPL, GFDL, GPL, LGPL) are especially complicated. They
    exist in two variants: -only (formerly e.g. GPL-2.0) and -or-later
    (formerly e.g. GPL-2.0+). We did not systematically noted distinguish
    between these variants, so GPL-2.0, GPL2, GPLv2 etc. may mean
    GPL-2.0-only or GPL-2.0-or-later. Thus GNU licenses without "+" (e.g.
    GPL2+) were left without the variant suffix, i.e. non SPDX compliant.
    
    Note: This commit just fixes format of the license names, no
    verification has been done if the specified license information is
    actually correct!
