# SPDX License List

Source: https://spdx.org/licenses/

- SPDX maintains a canonical list of license identifiers, full names, license texts, and permanent URLs.
- Use SPDX short identifiers (e.g., `MIT`, `Apache-2.0`, `GPL-3.0-only`) for tooling compatibility.
- SPDX supports license expressions for multi-license scenarios (e.g., `MIT OR Apache-2.0`).
- The list is versioned; check the current version when you need the latest identifiers.
