I don’t think enforcing SPDX (yet) is a good idea. People might use 
other software than Lokalize (e.g., Poedit), that doesn’t support SPDX. 
Or they might even use older versions of Lokalize, which didn’t have 
SPDX support. Also, the current version of Lokalize only writes SPDX 
strings for the *current* translator, not for any previous translators.

That’s my experience too. Some years ago, I managed to get an initial 
translation into Qt. But I haven’t managed to get an update in, since 
there are no one that can review and approve translations for my 
language. So I’ve given up. I think getting a translation into Qt is 
only possible for the largest, most popular languages.
