Re: Commutativity of SPDX expressions

Sebastian Crane
 

Dear Gary,

I've always assumed the AND and OR operators to be commutative and
the SPDX Java tools take full advantage of the commutative
properties when comparing license expressions.

I would welcome a pull request to Annex D to clarify this since at
least one member of the community found this ambiguous and/or
confusing.
I've made a pull request for this :) Not sure whether it'll make 2.3
though - has the final draft been released yet?

Best wishes,

Sebastian
