+!!! info "Enhanced License Expression Support"
+    Trivy supports filtering complex SPDX license expressions including:
+
+    - **Compound expressions** with AND/OR operators: `MIT AND GPL-2.0-or-later`
+    - **License exceptions** with WITH operator: `Apache-2.0 WITH LLVM-exception`
+    - **Individual components**: You can ignore specific license components or exceptions from compound expressions
+
+    When filtering compound expressions:
+
+    - **AND/OR expressions**: All individual license components must be explicitly ignored for the entire expression to be ignored
+    - **WITH expressions**: License expressions with exceptions are treated as single entities and can be ignored as a whole
+    - **Component matching**: You can also ignore individual license names or exception names to filter specific parts of compound expressions
+
 Since this feature is experimental, you must explicitly specify the YAML file path using the `--ignorefile` flag.
 Once this functionality is stable, the YAML file will be loaded automatically.
