Thanks! Yesterday evening, I was looking at scancode which is able to 
detect licenses but I didn't manage to figure out if it was possible to 
replace license text with SPDX.
In v1, IIRC, Demi said she didn't have time to look at it. But I am 
happy to give a try as it shouldn't be too complicated to replace the 
majority.
Cheers,
