Hi all,

This message from Santiago bounced, which is a good reminder for all newcomers that you will want to join the spdx-general mailing list, and probably the spdx-tech mailing list (for tech team discussions).  See https://spdx.dev/participate/ for more info on the different mailing lists, how to sign up, etc.

Thanks!

Dear members,



We are in the license information exchange sub group under OpenChain Japan
WG, and would like to propose usage profile for SPDX3.0 on this mailing list
based on Kate's suggestion as follows:



How can we describe "Reference to Local/Contract Documents" with External
Document Ref Tag?



(1) Proposal of usage profile: including OSS policy and/or contract information
on the SPDX (at chain basis) As each company would have own OSS policy,
OSS related inconsistency may be arisen at each deal(each supply chain).
Generally, this kind of policy would be defined in the closed / local document
such as policy, agreement, contract, and/or SPEC under each chain, and as
such, it would not be applicable for SPDX2.2 for the moment.
However, for the purpose of clear data exchange at supply chain basis and of
whole data exchange management, we would like to include OSS policy and/or
contract information on the SPDX3.0 at chain basis.



(2)How can we do?
For example, restricted OSS license may be identified in the OSS policy. Also,
such OSS license may be approved only for prototype.
Accordingly, we are focused on "External Document References", "UsageInfo",
"ValidUntil" to describe such information exchange with the following (A)-(D):


(A)In order to refer to the machine readable "Agreement" in relation to product
development between company A and company B.:
ExternalDocumentRef: DocumentRef-Agreement_Btw_A_B
file://anyware_but_not_disclosed_to_open/Agreement_Btw_A_B.txt
Checksum_for_for_Agreement_Btw_A_B
Or
ExternalDocumentRef: DocumentRef-Agreement_Btw_A_B "Specific ID,
Effective As Of or any other common identifier between supplier A and
consumer B" Checksum_for_Agreement_Btw_A_B

(B)In order to describe UsageInfo for product defined in the Agreement
between A and B:
DocumentRef-ThisSPDXID: SPDXID PREREQUISITE_FOR
TargetProductInfo-ThisSPDXID
TargetProductInfo: TargetProductinfo-ThisSPDXID "Product Name which
worte in Agreement_Btw_A_B"

(C)In order to pick up UsageInfo description about package "X" from the
Agreement between A and B:
Package Description about "X".....
UsageInfo:<text> "Only for Verification but not for Final Product" </text>
(Picked up from "Agreement_Btw_A_B").

(D)In order to define Expiration of This SPDX Document on Product
Development:
ValidUntil: <text>"Next Scheduled Delivery of SPDX Doc"</text>



We are looking forward to receive any feedback from others on this matter.


Thank you in advance!

Re: Referencing external spdx documents with package information from project.spdx.yml

Gary O'Neall
 

Moving this from spdx general list to spdx-tech list.

 

Greetings Stephanie,

 

If you are referring to an external SPDX document, you will want to use the ExternalSpdxDocument rather than ExternalRef.

 

The serialization format for the ExternalSpdxDocument varies quite a bit between the different file formats.

 

For YAML, the top level document will have a field externalDocumentRefs which lists all documents which are referenced.  For example:

 

externalDocumentRefs:

- externalDocumentId: "DocumentRef-spdx-tool-1.2"

  checksum:

    algorithm: "SHA1"

    checksumValue: "d6a770ba38583ed4bb4525bd96e50461655d2759"

  spdxDocument: "http://spdx.org/spdxdocs/spdx-tools-v1.2-3F2504E0-4F89-41D3-9A0C-0305E82C3301"

 

When there an element in the external document referenced, the syntax is externalDocumentId:SPDXRef-XXX where the SPDXRef-XXX is the SPDX reference in the external document.

 

For example:

relationships:

- spdxElementId: "SPDXRef-DOCUMENT"

  relatedSpdxElement: "DocumentRef-spdx-tool-1.2:SPDXRef-ToolsElement"

  relationshipType: "COPY_OF"

 

This is a similar approach to how the Tag/Value fields are parsed.

 

Note that this is an area of active discussion for the 3.0 Spec.  We all are finding the ExternalDocumentRef’s confusing and we will be renaming the fields at a minimum.  There is also some discussion on changing the model related to external document ref’s.  We will probably be discussing this on upcoming SPDX tech calls.  It has been proposed that we reintroduce the ExternalSpdxElement in the model for 3.0.

 

The SPDX YAML example includes an external document reference.

 

Best regards,
Gary

Subject: [spdx] Referencing external spdx documents with package information from project.spdx.yml

 

Hello J

 

I am currently working on an issue in the Oss-Review-Toolkit  [1] to support referring to external SPDX files from a `project.spdx.yml` [2].

 

I am currently checking out the spdx-specs [3] and the spdx schema [4] to create a working example of an ´project.spdx.yml` which has a package referencing an external SPDX document for  its metadata.

In the example file provided in [5]  I could not find a reference of that sort.

I have tried using `externalRefs` parameter of a package in the spdx document, but didn’t achieve actually referencing an external spdx document.

In the last paragraph of the spdx/tools repository [6] I have found a mention of “ExternalSpdxElement” that is not in the 2.0 model anymore. Has this been replaced in some way?

 

I wondered if there was an actual example in one of the documentations or repositories that shows:

A project.spdx.yml listing a package

and in that package metadata refer to

additional metadata in the form of a package.spdx.yml (or something similar)

 

Here is a slightly changed project.spdx.yml (originally from [7]) that shows how I would imagine the mechanisms working:

SPDXID: "SPDXRef-DOCUMENT"

spdxVersion: "SPDX-2.2"

creationInfo:

  created: "2020-07-23T18:30:22Z"

I’m also not sure of which SPDX tool you were using but I checked with
the browser extension spdx-license-diff
<https://github.com/spdx/spdx-license-diff> and I get a template match
to MIT since the extra part is optional as described by Steve.

 

Of course if you do use the browser extension and you see missing
template matches with it (which I find occasionally), I’ll fix it if you
report it <https://github.com/spdx/spdx-license-diff/issues>.

Hi Mark,

 

The MIT license template on the license list [1] has the language
"(including the next paragraph)" as optional text, which is why that
part shows up in blue italics on the list [2].

 

I think that's what you're referring to, but let me know if I'm missing

Re: "X.org Preferred License"

Steve Kilbane
 

I'm glad this topic came up, because I hadn't heard of spdx-license-diff before, and now I have it installed. That's a pretty good start to a Friday!

 

Thanks, Alan!

Hi Mark,

I’m also not sure of which SPDX tool you were using but I checked with the browser extension spdx-license-diff and I get a template match to MIT since the extra part is optional as described by Steve.

 

Of course if you do use the browser extension and you see missing template matches with it (which I find occasionally), I’ll fix it if you report it.

Hi Mark,

 

The MIT license template on the license list [1] has the language "(including the next paragraph)" as optional text, which is why that part shows up in blue italics on the list [2].

 

I think that's what you're referring to, but let me know if I'm missing something.

 

Best,

Steve

Thanks, and I see it’s already done.  Now I need to see why my tool isn’t matching it.

Referencing external spdx documents with package information from project.spdx.yml

stephanie.neubauer@...
 

Hello J

 

I am currently working on an issue in the Oss-Review-Toolkit  [1] to support referring to external SPDX files from a `project.spdx.yml` [2].

 

I am currently checking out the spdx-specs [3] and the spdx schema [4] to create a working example of an ´project.spdx.yml` which has a package referencing an external SPDX document for  its metadata.

In the example file provided in [5]  I could not find a reference of that sort.

I have tried using `externalRefs` parameter of a package in the spdx document, but didn’t achieve actually referencing an external spdx document.

In the last paragraph of the spdx/tools repository [6] I have found a mention of “ExternalSpdxElement” that is not in the 2.0 model anymore. Has this been replaced in some way?

 

I wondered if there was an actual example in one of the documentations or repositories that shows:

A project.spdx.yml listing a package

and in that package metadata refer to

additional metadata in the form of a package.spdx.yml (or something similar)

 

Here is a slightly changed project.spdx.yml (originally from [7]) that shows how I would imagine the mechanisms working:

SPDXID: "SPDXRef-DOCUMENT"

spdxVersion: "SPDX-2.2"

creationInfo:

  created: "2020-07-23T18:30:22Z"

  filesAnalyzed: false

  homepage: "https://example.com/products/xyz"

  licenseConcluded:  "NOASSERTION"

  licenseDeclared: "Apache-2.0 AND curl AND LicenseRef-Proprietary-ExampleInc"

  versionInfo: "0.1.0"

- SPDXID: "SPDXRef-Package-curl"

  externalRefs:

    referenceCategory: "OTHER"

    referenceLocator: "curl:7.70.0" (or similar way of giving an identifier)

    referenceType: https://github.com/oss-review-toolkit/ort/blob/master/analyzer/src/funTest/assets/projects/synthetic/spdx/package/libs/curl/package.spdx.yml (alternatively a relative path to the same file locally could be given here)

OR:       - SPDXID: "SPDXRef-Package-curl"
