Description

In https://github.com/spdx/license-list-data/blob/main/accessingLicenses.md the subsection https://github.com/spdx/license-list-data/blob/main/accessingLicenses.md#list-of-licenses notes:

The definition of the table columns can be found in the Explanation of SPDX License List Fields section on the License List Overview webpage.

That link gives a 404 error. The explanation of fields appears in https://github.com/spdx/license-list-XML/blob/main/DOCS/license-fields.md but I'm not seeing if or where publishes outside that repo. There are additional spdx.org vs .dev and license table publication oddities I'm stumbling into from the accessingLicenses.md, but I think they're captured in https://github.com/spdx/LicenseListPublisher/issues/186

Research direction

Start with accessingLicenses.md and inspect the broken License List Overview link in the “List of Licenses” subsection. Compare it with license-fields.md in the license-list-XML repository and review LicenseListPublisher issue 186 for related publication decisions. Done means identifying the canonical public destination and updating the outdated reference.
