Provide a list of known SPDX licenses for .Net applications

Hi, I’m Thomas.
I am in the software development business for more than 25 years.
I've done a lot of different things:

• C++ on Windows (3.x, 95, NT, etc.)
• Command line and UI tools
• Novel netware modules
• Windows services
• Configuration tools for intruder detection systems
• Touchpanel UIs for intruder detection systems in .Net, WinForms and WPF
• Tools for software license compliance in .Net and Python
• Containerized application on AWS

Currently I am working as a principal expert for software license compliance for Siemens. Another name for the job would be leading an OSPO for a Siemens business unit.

tethys.spdx's Issues

Tethys.SPDX.KnownLicenses - use System.Text.Json

Replace Newtonsoft.Json by System.Text.Json for package Tethys.SPDX.KnownLicenses.

Any chance of replacing Newtonsoft.Json with System.Text.Json and using .net standard 2.0

As the title states, this is more of a question than a issue. I took a look at the nuget packages provided by this project lately and would really like to use Tethys.SPDX.KnownLicenses and Tethys.SPDX.ExpressionParser in https://github.com/sensslen/nuget-license to allow for proper expression parsing. However there are two things tat prevent me from doing so:

1. both nuget packages are using .net standard 2.1 which is not compatible with .net framework. Unfortunately I need to also publish to .net framework in order to properly support native c++ projects (one of the projects I created a PR for downgrading the .net version --> see #1 ).
2. Tethys.SPDX.KnownLicenses uses Newtonsoft.Json with a lot of custom converters. I really want to keep the dependencies to a minimum and since Microsoft includes System.Text.Json with .net, it's a natural fit for json serialization/deserialization.
