SPDX License expression link broken #12797

Description

Problem

In the Cargo Book, the "SPDX 2.1 license expression" link is broken.

[crates.io] interprets the `license` field as an [SPDX 2.1 license
expression][spdx-2.1-license-expressions]. The name must be a known license

[spdx-2.1-license-expressions]: https://spdx.org/spdx-specification-21-web-version#h.jxpfx0ykyb60

Steps

  1. Go to Cargo Book webpage
  2. Click on "SPDX 2.1 license expression"
  3. See "Page not found" page

Possible Solution(s)

Update the link or complain to SPDX as it looks like the link is broken on their website too

So an issue may need to be raised here:
