Release candidate for SPDX online tools available for review and testing
Gary O'Neall
Greetings SPDX tech and legal teams.
A release candidate for a major upgrade of the SPDX online tools is available at http://52.32.53.255/app/
In addition to fixing some bugs and adding new fields to the license submit page, the online tools now supports JSON, YAML and XML formats in addition to the tag/value and RDF/XML formats already supported.
Feel free to try out the license submit and license namespace request features. Submitting license requests or license namespace requests will submit the issues to test repositories at https://github.com/spdx/TEST-LicenseList-XML and https://github.com/spdx/license-namespace-test respectively.
Please submit any issues at https://github.com/spdx/spdx-online-tools/issues
If there are no significant issues in 2 weeks (November 14), I will put this version into production – so be sure to have a look before then.
Thanks,

Meeting today, Oct. 22
Steve Winslow
Hello SPDX legal team, The next regularly-scheduled SPDX legal
team meeting will be today, Thursday, Oct. 22, at 9AM PDT / noon EDT. For today's agenda, we'll be setting aside the licensing profile discussions that have taken up the last few meetings, and will turn back to review the open license list
requests that are tagged for 3.11. We will also discuss whether the 3.11 release date (originally targeted for end of this month) should be pushed out to November or December.

Re: [spdx-tech] License model updated
Steve Winslow
(cc'ing spdx-legal for additional visibility) Thanks for this, Gary! I added a few comments in "suggestion" mode in the document. I like the direction the revised model is heading, and will be interested to get feedback from folks who weren't able to attend the call last week. For clarity, note that this is about a _draft_ discussion for proposed revisions to the license expression syntax / model for SPDX 3.0. For comparison, the existing model in SPDX 2.2 can be seen in https://spdx.github.io/spdx-spec/appendix-III-RDF-data-model-implementation-and-identifier-syntax/ (in the lower-left-hand corner, with the "AnyLicenseInfo" class and its children).

New tools in the repo
Gary O'Neall
Thanks to Anshul’s contributions through the community bridge program, there is a new Python tool in the SPDX GitHub repository – the spdx_python_licensematching repo contains a Python implementation of a license matcher which follows the SPDX license matching guidelines. Following all of the license matching guidelines is a much more compute intensive operation relative to other matching algorithms but will provide a more accurate result. Please check it out and if you find any issues or have any suggestion, add an spdx_python_licensematching issue.

call tomorrow: joint legal/tech teams
J Lovejoy
Hi all,
Tomorrow’s regularly scheduled legal team call will be a joint call with the tech team to continue the conversation about the licensing fields and consolidation of such for the 3.0 spec. By way of background or reminder: Currently, all license-related fields are contained within the main spec, and are specified as different properties on each SPDX artifact type, i.e., package, Filenes and snippet. For 3.0, licensing information will be broken out from the base spec and put in a separate "licensing" profile. There was a proposal to consolidate the license fields to have common names and meanings, which can then be applied at the package, file and snippet level. Steve and I drafted a first pass and we began to go through it on yesterday’s joint tech/legal call. We will continue that review tomorrow. The draft has some comments as per the discussion in the document and the meeting minutes have been posted. Please have a look at both and be ready to hit the ground running! License fields consolidation draft: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1k_2tSlFXvW_SbW-I1DcSEoCNBMQJd4FEFIQr6KCJuyU/edit#heading=h.wm4ivu55l9q0 Aug 11th joint call meeting minutes: https://wiki.spdx.org/view/Technical_Team/Minutes/2020-08-11 Call info: Thursday @ 9am Pacific / noon Eastern US time Thanks!
