Hi Daniel,
Yes indeed, it looks to be really great regarding SPDX relevance to adress and describe large scale situation. I guess you will push some of your recommendation in the Tech/Legal WG to upgrade http://spdx.org/wiki/spdx-license-list-match- guidelines Season's greatings. Guillaume Le 27/12/12 20:31, D M German a écrit : Hi everybody, This term I taught a course on Intellectual Property and Software Development. the students were expected to conduct some research as part of the evaluation. One of them, Trevor Maryka (who I think is also subscribed to this list) took on the problem of trying to determine how 'variable' are the BSD and the MITs and what this means for their standardization under SPDX. he makes a set of recommendations to SPDX (see section 5). I am attaching his paper. It is, in my opinion, very good news for SPDX. -- Guillaume ROUSSEAU CEO, Co-Founder, Antelink Président, Cofondateur, Antelink 18, rue Yves Toudic, 75010, Paris 10ème, France http://www.antelink.com/ Office : +33 1 42 39 30 78 |
