SBOM Utility is not vaidating the SMAIL-GPL SPDX License
I created a CDX 1.4 SBOM with the licenses for one package as
GPL-2.0-or-later, SMAIL-GPL, public-domain
These were broken up correctly into their separate licenses in the SBOM, but on importing the SBOM into DT it failed.
I ran a validation tool against it and it failed with (to summarize) SMAIL-GPL is not an SPDX license.
It is - https://spdx.org/licenses/SMAIL-GPL.html
It was introduced to the SPDX list in Oct 2024 and I am guessing that SBOM utility needs to be updated to accept it.
I changed the license to the primary one for this package:
GPL-2.0-or-later
and the SBOM validated and imported into DT.
