go-spdx's Issues

Doesn't work on Windows?

Hi, we're using go-spdx over at https://github.com/italia/publiccode-parser-go. It looks like the assets don't get embedded on Windows, for some reason:

C:\Users\fabio>go install github.com/italia/publiccode-parser-go/v2/pcvalidate@latest

C:\Users\fabio>pcvalidate
panic: specified file is not found

goroutine 1 [running]:
github.com/kyoh86/go-spdx/spdx.init.0()
        C:/Users/fabio/go/pkg/mod/github.com/kyoh86/[email protected]/spdx/licenses.go:26 +0x21a

Not a big issue anyway, because Windows support is low priority for us.

Use GitHub Actions

yo go-project --projectName ${PWD##*/} --author ${${PWD%/*}##*/} --license MIT --dir ${PWD}
git rm -rf .circleci
sudo rm -rf "$(go env GOPATH)/pkg" && go get -v -d -t ./... && go mod tidy
git add -p and git commit -m "Replace Circle-CI with GitHub Actions"
Set CODECOV_TOKEN and GORELEASER_GITHUB_TOKEN on repository

As of SPDX 2.0, a + operator can be appended to the identifiers of all non-GNU licenses in order to include the later versions (example: MPL-2.0+).
This parser library does not currently support such sintax.
