License List and Guidelines document has been uploaded to the Wiki so everyone can just look at it there. Jilayne -----Original Message-----

Subject: Re: updated license list Hello, Jilayne Lovejoy said on Thu, Nov 04, 2010 at 09:19:54AM -0600: Here is the next version of the license list (v1.2) that includes theupdated the "guidelines" document and listed any changes in this spreadsheetI think there is a problem line 32 of the LicenseList v1.2 file: Column A mentions version 1.0 wheresas column B says 3.0. --> FIXED (good eye!) I wonder if there shouldn't be a mention of the GFDL in this file as well (with the multiple versions)? (CC are there) --> GOOD PONT - ADDED FDL v1.2 AS IT IS THE ONE I'VE SEEN USED MOST OFTEN EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A MORE RECENT VERSION. HOWEVER, THIS SPEAKS TO ONE OF THE "OUTSTANDING ISSUES" - THAT WE DO NOT HAVE OLDER VERSIONS OF A BUNCH OF COMMON LICENSES... (SEE NEXT EMAIL) Speaking of versions, I wonder whether there should'nt always be a version mentioned, to support easily future revisions of the license not having multiple version yet. --> MANY LICENSES ARE ONE-OFFS AND MOST LIKELY WILL NOT HAVE A NEW VERSION. IF THE LICENSE DOESN'T INCLUDE THIS IN ITS TITLE, I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD ADD A VERSION NUMBER For dates, wouldn't it be more interesting (wrt sort, ...) to use the ISO format: 2010-11-04 instead of the European one, which may be confusing for non-european people. --> SO FAR THE DATE IS JUST INCLUDED AS PART OF THE TEXT FIELD FOR "NOTES" ABOUT THE LICENSE, SO PROBABLY DOESN'T MATTER EITHER WAY BEYOND WHATEVER IS GOING TO BE EASIEST TO READ. SOME LICENSES ONLY HAVE A MONTH-YEAR FOR RELEASE DATE INSTEAD OF A FULL DATE IN CASE THAT'S A CONSIDERATION HTH, Bruno. -- Open Source & Linux Profession Lead EMEA / http://opensource.hp.com HP/Intel/Red Hat Open Source Solutions Initiative / http://www.hpintelco.net http://www.HyPer-Linux.org http://mondorescue.org http://project-builder.org La musique ancienne? http://www.musique-ancienne.org http://www.medieval.org _______________________________________________ Spdx mailing list Spdx@... https://fossbazaar.org/mailman/listinfo/spdx |
