Extracted file type check logic into a separate function `file_to_be_checked`. Extracted SPDX check logic into a separate function `check_spdx`. Make the check case insesitive.

…entifiers. Updated `spdx-check.sh` to support multiple SPDX license identifiers. This change allows the script to check for various Apache-2.0 compatible licenses, ensuring compliance with a broader range of open-source licenses. Signed-off-by: Nikolay Martyanov <nikolay@zededa.com>
Introduce `.spdxignore` file to list paths to be ignored during SPDX check. Add all `vendor` directories there. Update `spdx-check.sh` script to read `.spdxignore`. Modified `file_to_be_checked` function to skip files and directories listed in `.spdxignore`. Signed-off-by: Nikolay Martyanov <nikolay@zededa.com>

Does the script already ignore everything in the vendor directories? |
|
Would it make sense to check for a Copyright line in the same files? (We can separately discuss whether the Copyright should include the current year - that should be done if there are significant changes but it is a bit painful for minor changes such as changing an import path in lots of files.) |
It does, but I changed how we set up the ignored directories. Now, it works in an extensible way. |
It's a good idea. We can add this check, but I would prefer to do it in a separate PR as it requires some extra logic. |
This pull request focuses on enhancing the
spdx-check.shscript by introducing an ignoring mechanism. This new feature allows the script to skip specific files or patterns, providing more control over which files are subjected to SPDX license checks. Additionally, the script has been refactored to improve maintainability and support for multiple Apache-2.0 compatible SPDX license identifiers.
