Re: Taxonomy of software supply chain ecosystem?

Hi Vicky,

 

There's been some great work in the OSS Compliance Tooling Group which addresses this – if you're asking what I think you're asking. See:

 

https://github.com/Open-Source-Compliance/Sharing-creates-value/tree/master/Tooling-Landscape

 

(it is, however, restricted to FOSS tools, given the charter of the group, but the taxonomy in CapabilityMap is generally applicable.)

There's been some industry wide agreement on the taxonomy to use to classify tools here:  https://www.ntia.gov/files/ntia/publications/ntia_sbom_tooling_taxonomy-2021mar30.pdf    I think the path of least pain is to align with it, unless there are some tools that just don't fit in the taxonomy.

 

We've been collecting the tools we're aware of that work with SPDX, and grouped within the taxonomy here: http://tiny.cc/SPDX

 

Which is an open for comments, so if you spot a tool that works with SPDX and you don't see it in the taxonomy,  please fill in the template and add a comment.    Jack's done a great job in moving what we've got in that document to our website.

 

Long term solution here is to move this collection to SPDX's github and generate automatically via a landscape onto the web pages, but that's a WIP that Sebastian's helping us make real. 

 

That help?

For instance, looking at this (very much work in progress, just noodling about as I think about things) picture, those items in each of those long lists aren’t equivalent. They fall into different categories of functionality and come into play at different stages.

 

Those categories/stages are the taxonomy I’m hoping someone else has already created and published under a FOSS license so we can all play along at home. 😊

 

My web searches aren’t turning anything up on this one. Do any of you know whether this exists already?

Dear Marc-Etienne,

Hi all,

Great news: ISO SPDX standard is now publicly available at:
https://standards.iso.org/ittf/PubliclyAvailableStandards/
Yay! I was indeed just wondering about this earlier today, so thank
you very much for the notification :)

Best wishes,

Hi Simon,

 

About the availability of the SPDX spec.

 

It is the other way round. Since SPDX was not developed by ISO itself, the ISO standard should be available for free on this website: https://standards.iso.org/ittf/PubliclyAvailableStandards/

 

But it might take some time before it is put there.

 

Best regards,

 

Marc-Etienne

Subject: [spdx-tech] RFC: Creating a fairly complex SPDX document for an open source project (Julia)

 

Hello everyone.  First time poster here, so I hope this topic is considered appropriate.

 

My favorite open source project is Julia (https://julialang.org).  It's build process pulls in a lot of code from many other repositories.  I thought that the project would benefit from having an SPDX document describing all these packages, streamlining the review and approval process at organizations that want to use Julia.

 

I've put together a pull request that adds an SPDX document to the repository. At this point it contains only a few packages to demonstrate what it looks like and will be filled in over time. If anyone on this list would like to provide feedback that would be appreciated.

 

 

On a related question since I see that SPDX just became an ISO standard. Does that mean that version 2.2.1 (and 3.0) of the specification will not be available for free at spdx.dev?  Will the spdx-spec repository on Github remain available so that open source developers can access the current specification?  If all developers had to pay $200, that would be a significant barrier to adoption in the OSS world.

 

Thank you in advance for any feedback provided.

 

Simon Avery

·         We expect more activities on the profiles next month, especially security

·         Interest in the spec and tools continues to increase – we’re seeing some good signs of adoption from companies, other open source projects, and individuals (if you need more detail – SW360 is engaged in some issues conversations on the tools, the SPDX 2.1 spec issues has some new contributor)

Presentation

  • JSON Support for Golang libraries
    After the introduction of Spdx Specifications v2.2 JSON, YAML, and a development version of XML have been added as supported file formats. However , the tools-golang package currently did not have the support to parse the spdx files nor had the support to save a spdx doc in JSON format .The main objective of this project is to add support in the tools-golang package so that it can parse as well as save SPDX® v2.2 files in JSON format . 
    Background : I am a passionate individual who always strives to work on end to end products which develop sustainable and scalable social and technical systems to create impact.

Re: Public Domain license identifier

Richard Fontana
 

The "public domain" part appears to be the text of the Unlicense, so
I'd assume "MIT OR Unlicense".

So what should we document in your opinion?

Hi Pierre,

I am moving the general SPDX list to BCC and sending this via the SPDX legal list, as that is the right place for this question! Also not - I have approved your message and copied you here so you will get the response, but you generally have to join the SPDX mailing list to post and receive message. https://lists.spdx.org/groups

Looking at the license file for that project: Alternative A is indeed MIT and Alternative B is the Unlicense (https://spdx.org/licenses/Unlicense.html)

Thus, the SPDX license expression would be:  MIT OR Unlicense

FYI - you might want to install the license diff browser plugin to help you with these kinds of things - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/spdx-license-diff/kfoadicmilbgnicoldjmccpaicejacdh?hl=en (also available for Firefox)

That’s great, Dick. A very important direction for us IMO.

Kate/Gary, please let me know if there is anything I can do to help with a cyber risk assessment use case – I’m happy to contribute and learn.

Dick, apologies for the slow response. Frankly we had a pretty tech team update this time. I think it’s a good idea to get some specifics from profile sub-teams next month and (herewith) suggest to Kate/Gary.

Phil,

 

               I had to attend a CISA meeting held at the same time as the SPDX meeting; I didn’t see any info in the minutes regarding the work on profiles. Any updates to share on the progress to support profiles?

There were a few of anonymous participants that I did not include in the count. It would be helpful to get names for these minutes and to use them for future meetings. Also, while it’s not required to be affiliated with a company, that information is also helpful. I didn’t catch for everyone. If you’d like to me to add, just let me know via email. Additions/corrections also welcome.

Thanks, Phil – I’m very much looking forward to the configurable profiles capability.

Yes, understood. Thanks, Dick. For that use case, the President was more concerned with a cyber attack that a license violation. This is the point of evolving SPDX to be “configurable” with profiles to meet different use cases.

Phil,

 

               Minimal SBOM elements specified by NTIA for Executive Order (EO) 14028 do not include license data element requirements (see attached). The EO and the NTIA SBOM minimal elements focus on Cyber risk, i.e. C-SCRM, whereas license management is a Legal/Financial risk.

 

The use of SBOM for license legal risk management is indeed a good practice, but it is not required to satisfy NTIA minimal SBOM requirements for EO 14028.

Thanks, Matija. Absolutely not just license compliance. Security too is a big driver and an important part/direction of SPDX.

Congratulations!

This is indeed a massive step for the software world, and hopefully not just
in terms of license compliance!
