NuGet.org how to specify GPL3 license?

When creating a NuGet package how do I specify the GPL3 license?

I tried to add the following to my csproj file:

<PackageLicenseExpression>GPLv3</PackageLicenseExpression>
<PackageLicenseExpression>GPL3</PackageLicenseExpression>

Nuget.org can't recognize any of those.

But the following does work:

<PackageLicenseExpression>MIT</PackageLicenseExpression>

Solution

  • <PackageLicenseExpression>GPL-3.0-or-later</PackageLicenseExpression>
