Re: Purpose of licensing info

The license of a license file is not necessarily the license defined in that file. For example, if the file COPYING contains the text of the GPL-v2 its license should be Everyone is permitted to

Re: new version of License List uploaded

Thanks Jilayne After looking this over, we are pretty well aligned with two exceptions Debian excludes the “.0” on ends of versions (eg Apache-1 instead of Apache-1.0) Debian uses GFDL for GNU

Re: Seen in file license recognition

No, I don’t think we should limit the values in “seen in file licenses” to just those which “exact” match the standard header set. Because I don’t think it is reasonable to expect that

Re: Licence abbreviations?

I am taking what you refer to as 'how it is used' to be the equivalent of the header information that is included in the file. When making the License List, that column was defined to only being

It seems like there are three possible scenarios for this field: "I looked and found ____" = field propagated "I looked and didn't find anything" = NotSpecified "I didn't even look" = ? field left

Now that I understand the interest in representing material that was explicitly found in the file, let me check my understanding about what specifically is expected to be recorded. (1) In the

Seen in file license recognition

It was clear from the call this morning that when and spdx producer sees a standard header in a file that license ends up in the "seen in file licenses" list. However, for all other licenses/license

The discussion of "license information" (as contrasted with "licenses") suggests possible value in slightly generalizing the list of standard licenses to a list of standards shortnames. From the
