Not convinced that this is a benefit under all circumstances, but that's a philosopical problem. The real problem is this:

+Valid-License-Identifier: copyleft-next-0.3.1

and

+11. Later License Versions

• The Copyleft-Next Project may release new versions of copyleft-next,
• designated by a distinguishing version number ("Later Versions").
• Unless I explicitly remove the option of Distributing Covered Works
• under Later Versions, You may Distribute Covered Works under any Later
• Version.

If I want to remove this option, then how do I express this with a SPDX license identifier?

Sigh!
