base: main
title: "Update SPDX license files (${{ env.DT_STAMP }})"
body: "The files in this PR are auto-generated by the [fetch-licenses](./.git/workflows/fetch-license.yaml) workflow when it runs the `extract` command defined in [cmd/main.go](./cmd/main.go). It updates SPDX licenses based on the latest released set in the [spdx/license-list-data](https://github.com/spdx/license-list-data) repository maintained by [SPDX](https://spdx.org/licenses/). \n\nTODO: [spdxexp/spdxlicenses/license_ranges.go](./spdxexp/spdxlicenses/license_range.go) has to be updated manually."
