[OE-core] SPDX vs LICENSE field valid licenses

[Bernhard Guillon]

Hi all,
I want to ask which license style is currently the preferred one? At 
license.bbclass this comment appears:

# Standards are great! Everyone has their own. In an effort to standardize 
licensing
# names, common-licenses will use the SPDX standard license names. In 
order to not
# break the non-standardized license names that we find in LICENSE, we'll 
set
# up a bunch of VarFlags to accomodate non-SPDX license names.
#
# We should really discuss standardizing this field, but that's a longer 
term goal.
# For now, we can do this and it should grab the most common LICENSE 
naming variations.

So the valide license names for recipes are e.g. MPLv1 while the SPDX 
license is MPL-1. Why are we not using MPL-1 at the LICENSE field from 
recipes?

Best regrads,
Bernhard Guillon
