There is still an issue here.
The SPDX id for GFDL requires the license text to be in LICENSES/....
But the plain GFDL-1.1-or-later lacks the invariant/front/back parts which are an exception to the license and require an exception ID along with the corresponding file in LICENSES/..... again.
So no, this won't cut it. Please stay with free form license information until this is resolved.
Kate, can you have a look into that please on the SPDX side?
Thanks,
tglx
