Published license identifier is not compliant with the SPDX license list

[mervyn-mccreight]

As for now the license is getting published as Apache 2 License but according to https://spdx.org/licenses/Apache-2.0.html the SPDX-identifier would be Apache-2.0.

It would be nice to align it to the SPDX-identifier, because this makes it easier for tools like e.g. Gradle plugins to detect the used license by relying on the SPDX license identifiers.

The published URL to the license is also not correct, as it just references as LICENSE.txt which is not an absolute path to the license file. IMO best would be to link to the official template of the used license, e.g. https://spdx.org/licenses/Apache-2.0.html or https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0 respectively.

Thanks but this is a tiny thing, plus Github recognizes the Apache-2.0 license, and the Enforcer plugin as part of the build also does. If there is either a critical security or bugfix or a new major version like MR2 or 2.0 we'll look into it.

Technically speaking we also need to add a NOTICE file https://github.com/JavaMoney/jsr354-api/blob/master/LICENSE.txt#L179

@mervyn-mccreight "As for now the license is getting published as Apache 2 License" sorry could you please elaborate where you see it?

[mervyn-mccreight]

Sure.
You can see it in the published maven artifact (e.g. at mvnrepository.com).
