New OSI-approved licenses
Richard Fontana <fontana@...>
Greetings spdx-legal,
The OSI recently approved three licenses as Open Source: 1) eCos License version 2.0 (under the 'Legacy Approval' process) Text of approved license contained within: https://lists.opensource.org/pipermail/license-review/2014-August/000853.html Note that the interesting part of this license is identical to http://spdx.org/licenses/eCos-exception-2.0.html#licenseExceptionText 2) Free Public License 1.0.0 Text of approved license contained within: https://lists.opensource.org/pipermail/license-review/2015-August/001104.html 3) OSET Foundation Public License version 2.1 We don't quite have a canonical license document here yet (the license that was approved was a conceptually-typo-corrected version of a redline document). Anyway I would like to request the SPDX group consider creating license names and identifiers for these. If this is a chicken-and-egg problem (i.e. if the OSI needs to officially post these license texts on its website before the SPDX group will consider such a request) let me know. Also I am curious whether the SPDX group considers this necessary for the case of the eCos License given the existence of a name and identifier for the exception portion. Thanks, Richard |
