Re: List of companies that have adopted SPDX

RUFFIN MICHEL #884 The customers of Alcatel-Lucent are mainly telecom operators. They just start in their RFP to ask questions on FOSS and ask list of FOSS in our products. They are far to ask things in SPDX format. There are 2 things in SPDX the data and the XML format. So we provide the data but not under the XML format (note that we are able to provide it under XML since our tools are aligned and prepared for that). Now if we were to exchange information with companies aligned on SPDX such as Blackduck, we will probably provide information under full SPDX format so we can automate things between our tools. As I said XML is for tools, excel is for humans Michel.Ruffin@..., PhD Software Coordination Manager, N&P IS/IT Distinguished Member of Technical Staff Tel +33 6 75 25 21 94 Alcatel-Lucent International, Centre de Villarceaux Route De Villejust, 91620 Nozay, France toggle quoted message Show quoted text -----Message d'origine----- De : Georgia Kapitsaki [mailto:gkapi@...] Envoyé : vendredi 14 mars 2014 10:52 À : RUFFIN, MICHEL (MICHEL) Objet : Re: List of companies that have adopted SPDX Hi Michael, thank you for the answer. If possible, can you add this information in the relevant spdx wiki page? http://wiki.spdx.org/view/Business_Team/Adoption Also may I ask you if you provide also externally any SPDX files coming from real projects? I understand that company policies may not allow this, but it would be very interesting for us to have access to some real-world cases, since we are trying to evaluate a tool that checks the correctness of SPDX files. I remain at your disposal for any information. Thank you. Best regards, Georgia -- Dr.-Ing. Georgia M.

Now people use more excel format than XML one when they discuss things 8-) So SPDX/XML is more for machines; Concerning our contracts with suppliers we are asking Excel format and mention SPDX format.

Objet : Re: List of companies that have adopted SPDX All, if you are willing to add you organization's name to the list of those using SPDX, please either add to the adoption wiki page http://wiki.spdx.org/view/Business_Team/Adoption or drop a note to Jack and Mikael. Georgia, Thanks for the inquiry. First let me tell you we don¹t have perfect knowledge. We have gotten to the point that there is enough information available on the Website that one can utilize the spec without having to be involved or ask questions and we know that there are many companies working with SPDX, but either consciously or unconsciously are not sharing that info. That said, about 6 months ago we started a wiki page to capture what we know, at least about companies that were willing to have their activity known. http://wiki.spdx.org/view/Business_Team/Adoption We know that the info was not complete at the time and surely it has fallen behind a bit.
