You can work around the problem with compound SPDX expressions by using
an equivalent simple SPDX expression, if available, even though it may
be deprecated. See the commit message below for details:

Set license value using a simple SPDX expression

==================================================
Set license value using a simple SPDX expression

Neither the Ubuntu Software Snap package (snap-store) nor the GNOME
Software Debian package (gnome-software) understand the compound SPDX
expression '(GPL-2.0 WITH Classpath-exception-2.0)' and label it a
"Proprietary" license.[1]

Replace the compound expression with the equivalent, but deprecated,
simple SPDX expression 'GPL-2.0-with-classpath-exception', which both
software store applications recognize as a "Free" license.[2]

[1] Proprietary Software

This means that the software is owned by an individual or a
company. There are often restrictions on its use and its source code
cannot usually be accessed.

[2] Free Software

This means that the software can be freely run, copied, distributed,
studied and modified.

Users are bound by the following license:

GPL-2.0-with-classpath-exception
