SPDX License List is a list of (common) open source
licenses that can be referred to by a “short identifier”.
It has several advantages compared to the common "license header texts"
usually found in source files.
Some of the advantages:
* It is precise; there is no ambiguity due to variations in license header
text
* It is language neutral
* It is easy to machine process
* It is concise
* It is simple and can be used without much cost in interpreted
environments like java Script, etc.
* An SPDX license identifier is immutable.
* It provides simple guidance for developers who want to make sure the
license for their code is respected

We added a `.dir-locals.el` in commit: 9a77017d87
There's no need to have it per-file, with that people might think
to add other editors, which is the wrong direction.

This is a type representing the tuple (collection ID, ref name), which is
guaranteed to be globally unique. It will be used in upcoming commits.
It introduces the concept of a ‘collection’ which is a unique, curated
set of refs which lie in the same trust domain (i.e. all signed by the
same key and validated by the same developer). Flathub might be a
collection, for example; or the set of OS refs coming from a particular
OS vendor.
It includes a function for validating collection IDs.
