New table format missing many SPDX ids #87

I had not looked at the OSI license page in some time at https://opensource.org/licenses/ but I see it has a new table format. Happy to see the SPDX id column, but many SPDX ids are missing. The SPDX License List has long had a policy of adding any OSI-approved license (all ever approved). Since 2011, the OSI adopted and displayed the SPDX ids. I'm not sure why it seems this transition has dropped so many, but it'd be good to have that fixed!

This page https://opensource.org/license/lgpl-license-html and the table, only has the old SPDX identifiers for the "only" variant, e.g., LGPL-2.0

The individual pages have the following issues:

here are some that are missing the SPDX id in the table, as well as the individual page:

Hi @jlovejoy, thanks for your notes. The table shows the information that is in the database of licenses: if the table doesn't show the SPDX info, that's missing from the license page too. We'll take a look at this and get back to you.

Thanks @nickvidal - I wasn't sure where this is coming from, so added the issue to document it.

Would be good to get this all sorted and consistent again!
