Description

This would enable easier access and always have the latest release easily available.

Copying the files to the website would be relatively easy - just extending the website publisher code.

In addition, we could do the extra step of merging all the licenses and extensions into one or two XML files to make it easier to consume the entire set of files.

Research direction

Start by locating the website publisher code and tracing how license-list-data releases are published. Confirm the required XML outputs, including whether the optional merged files are in scope; done means the latest XML files are available on spdx.org/licenses and any agreed merged files are consumable there.
