Problem
The DejaCode "License choices" model was originally constructed before the introduction of the WITH operator. In order to align with emerging SPDX standards, we deprecated licenses that were actually a compound of a standard license and an exception; for example, we deprecated gpl-2.0-classpath and introduced classpath-exception-2.0 and now favor gpl-2.0 WITH classpath-exception-2.0 over the simple gpl-2.0-classpath. Consequently, the license expression cddl-1.1 OR (gpl-2.0 WITH classpath-exception-2.0) is much preferred over the older cddl-1.1 or gpl-2.0-classpath. DejaCode generally handles that new convention, but the parentheses are ignored in the "License choices" table.
What are the benefits of the requested enhancement?
Clarify and improve license choices in DejaCode.
Describe the solution you would like
Preserve the license expression as entered with parentheses.
