Research direction

Read the Adding a license guidance in CONTRIBUTING.md and compare the CECILL-2.1 entry with the corresponding text in spdx/license-list-data. Update the choosealicense.com license content to use the English SPDX version, then verify that the displayed text matches the source.

Description

I noticed that CECILL-2.1 appears in French in choosealicense.com, while SPDX uses the English version. This is not on par with some of the requirements in the "Adding a license" documentation [1], such as "the text of the license should match the corresponding text found in spdx/license-list-data".
