In my experience SPDX is nice for new code, but doesn't work that well
for existing code bases. So while it would be nice to have some support
e.g. in url2pkg or pkglint for scanning for SPDX identifiers and a tool
to convert them to "our" names, I don't think batch converting is going
to help much if at all.
