In the SPDX License List matching guidelines, there is a text:

To ensure consistent results by different SPDX document creators when matching license information that will be included in the License Information in File field.

But that "License Information in File" field, or licenseInfoInFiles, has been removed since 3.0 (see https://github.com/spdx/using/blob/main/docs/diffs-from-previous-editions.md#licenseinfoinfiles )

Any suggestion to revise the text please? Thank you.

(Found during the drafting of v3.0.1-v2.2.1 diffs)

I propose changing

license information that will be included in the License Information in File field.

to

license information that will be included in SPDX data.

@swinslow should probably review the PR
