Hi all, We have our regular call today at noon EDT. We'll catch up on any other "intros"; I think Warner was going to give an update on the SPDX work in FreeBSD (if you are ready to do so), and get or

Hi Karsten, well, I suppose that is not surprising it came up again, as I think we talked about some documentation during the last conversation, but, um, that never got done. Probably a good time to r

HI Karsten, I thought we discussed this or something very similar during the early licensing-profile discussions regarding a “distributed license” concept and it was put to rest? :) In any case, I thi

Hi all, Just a reminder of our regularly scheduled call in a bit over an hour. The docfest is going on today as well, so we may have thinner attendance, but we’ll meet and work on looking at issues an

Hi OSI, Just noting that this does not appear to be on the SPDX License List currently. Copying SPDX-legal here as well. A new license request has been added here: https://github.com/spdx/license-list

Hi all, Just a reminder we have our legal call tomorrow/Thursday at the usual time and place. https://meet.jit.si/SPDXLegalMeeting Paul and I both have a conflicts, but Steve will there. Now that we h

Hi all, Thanks for the quick feedback and I'm glad to see that we basically all seem to agree that, yes, the SPDX License List should have enough coverage of licenses that a free/open operating system

Hi all, I wanted to raise a question I've been thinking of in light for Fedora and other open source OS distros looking to adopt use of SPDX license identifiers in various ways. One concern that has b

Hi Sebastian, I knew/hoped there'd be some SPDX'ers who were also Fedora fans! See comment below on where folks familiar with SPDX could be of most help: For any of the licenses marked as "NO" (not on

Hi all, Sorry for the delay in responding, I got busy with other things and needed some time to fully re-read this thread and absorb everything. Thanks to Max, Matija, and Sebastian for your combined

Hi Anthony, Thanks for pointing this out. I tried to add a comment, but it appears to be closed. Thomas is active in the SPDX-tech team, but would be nice if someone from the SPDX-legal could add a bi

Hi all, We are going to aim for the end of next week for the 3.14 release - giving everyone an extra week to tidy up any outstanding issues. So, if you haven't gotten to something, you have a bit more

Hi Legal, Tech teams, I just want to clarify my understanding of capitalization sensitivity for SPDX license ids and license expression operators: Appendix IV states: License expression operators (AND

Hi Max to clarify: the FSF turned down GPL-3.0* WITH LGPL-3.0* or GPL-3.0* AND LGPL-3.0* (as you understand it, not asking you to speak for the FSF) Having the discussion and getting input from the FS

I meant to add: our next legal call is Thursday, Aug 5th at 10am mountain time. Happy to dedicate some time then to this topic, if a live-discussion would help and all interested parties can attend.

This is a problem. We already went down this road with having back-and-forth conversations with FSF (by way of Richard Stallman and John Sullivan) in 2018 when Richard Stallman wanted us to change the

Hi Max, Do I understand correctly that FSF still doesn't think of LGPL-3.0 as an exception to GPL-3.0 (even though functionally and structurally it is) and thus wants us all now to identify LGPL-3.0 a

Hi SPDX-legal, I've been chatting to some of the Fedora folks about adopting the use of SPDX license identifiers in its package spec files. I just posted a comment/ proposal to a PR that was opened so

Hi all, We have our regular meeting today at 10am mountain time via https://meet.jit.si/SPDXLegalMeeting We will focus on what can be wrapped up for the 3.14 release at the end of this month! Thanks,
