When comparing the result we get from ClearlyDefined with our approved license list, our code chokes on OTHER for some packages because that's not a known SPDX license. Perhaps the intention is for tools to produce errors on that, but I wonder if it would better to at least produce a valid SPDX license so that people can make a decision about what to do with it without tools/libraries just erroring. It could be, for example, LicenseRef-clearlydefined-other.

OTHER was added in response to #522

Perhaps @royaljust has an opinion about this?
