Description

Currently, the InvalidLicenseExpression is being serialized. When deserialized, an except occurs.

Proposal: convert the InvalidLicenseExpression to a simple license text and add a comment that it is invalid.

This may also be an issue for other SPDX serializers both SPDX 2.X and SPDX 3.

Research direction

Start by locating the serialization and deserialization handling for InvalidLicenseExpression in the SPDX 3 JSON-LD store, then reproduce the reported deserialization exception. Done means the value is serialized as simple license text with a comment identifying it as invalid, with coverage for the affected path and consideration of other SPDX serializers.
