Hi All,

A quick question: when using "|# SPDX-License-Identifier: LicenseRef-MyLicense|" does the next actually ***have*** to be that, or can it be something else, such as "|# SPDX-License-Identifier: LicenseRef-LicenseForExampleApp|"

Cheers

You can call your custom license basically anything you want:

...

If a license does not exist in the SPDX License List, its SPDX License Identifier MUST be LicenseRef-[idstring] as defined by the SPDX Specification, Section 6 available at https://spdx.org/spdx-specification-21-web-version#h.1v1yuxt.

So yes, your second example would also work, just make sure to also name your custom license file in the LICENSES folder like that.
