Remove spdx_licenselist.csv in favor of using spdx-lookup package

[sschuberth]

Consider using the spdx-lookup package instead of the committed spdx_licenselist.csv file.

CSV is not great indeed. There is one issue though: package namespaces. Per https://github.com/bbqsrc/spdx-lookup-python/blob/4f5c2f540525421025e498289f9e84721683d7f9/spdx_lookup/init.py#L8 spdx_lookup from @bbqsrc depends on https://github.com/bbqsrc/spdx-python from the same author that provides the license lists proper but also uses the same spdx package namespace that this tool here is using.

As such this could not be re-used as is unless we do on of these:

1. we vendor spdx-python
2. we rename the packages used here or there to distinct names
3. we adopt a shared package namespace strategy
4. we merge together

This is an issue I raised here https://github.com/bbqsrc/spdx-python/issues/1

You can have the entire spdx.* namespace as long as the current interface of the spdx module can continue to exist, and the spdx package stays a minimal database package as it already is so it can be consumed by other projects.

If that works, then I'm open to any other suggestions. :smile:

(I note my preferred option is still as I said in the other issue: name it spdx_tools and just depend on the already existing module.)

Hi @sschuberth! We are cleaning up this repo and in the process I noticed this old issue. Since the linked repo has been archived and the CSV list is no longer part of the repo, I think this issue can be closed. Or are there any other ideas to rewrite the current use of the license list @pombredanne?

As 462e986daba28d6d9c28593dee29ff3d801a7268 replaced the CSV with the JSON from https://github.com/spdx/license-list-data/blob/master/json/licenses.json this can indeed be closed.
