Description

  1. Many license names listed match neither the OSI nor the SPDX name
    • for instance "2-clause BSD license"
  2. Some license names are not followed by its SPDX identifier, even though one exists
    • for instance "CeCILL License 2.1"
  3. In the category "Other/Miscellaneous licenses" the 0BSD is listed thrice
    • 0-clause BSD License (0BSD)
    • Free Public License 1.0.0 (0BSD)
    • Zero-Clause BSD (0BSD)
  4. Not all licenses from opensource.org/licenses are listed
    • for instance the BlueOak-1.0.0

Research direction

Start at the opensource.org/licenses-old/category page referenced by the issue and compare its license names, SPDX identifiers, duplicates, and coverage with opensource.org/licenses. Update the category listing so names and identifiers are consistent, 0BSD appears once, and missing licenses such as BlueOak-1.0.0 are included. Confirm the rendered page reflects all four requested corrections.
