Subject: Questions on SPDX 1.0 Hello, I am trying to understand the SPDX 1.0 spec so that I can export our FOSS database in SPDX format. I have the following questions: The are two formats, one in text and one in XML/RDF. 1) Is there a tool that check the syntactic validity of a file? [Gary] The SPDX Viewer tool found at spdx.org/tools will do some validation on a file 2) Is there a tool that converts one format to the other? [Gary] There are conversion tools on the same website. These are Java based command line tools. Let me know if you have any questions/problems with the tools. 3) In the FAQ: http://spdx.org/wiki/spdx-faqs the sentence: "You may choose to use software tools that can scan software and validate the accuracy of the SPDX file." appears twice. Why? [Gary] This looks like an error - I updated the page to remove the second line 4) In the FAQ, licence examples are given as: GPL-2.0 OR MIT Apache-2.0 AND MIT AND GPL-2.0 From the spec, I consider it should be: (GPL-2.0 or MIT) (Apache-2.0 and MIT and GPL-2.0) Parentheses are missing? "and" and "or" should be lower case? [Gary] Great catch - I updated the FAQ's page to match the spec Thank you for your help.
