Thursday SPDX General Meeting Reminder

Phil Odence
 

We are still trying to line up a presentation from one of the GSoC students who has not yet presented; that’s up in the air.

 

I will not be able to join so one of the other Core Team members will host.

 

Best regards,

Phil

[G.O.] The idea is that there would be a package definition. It could be in a separate SPDX document, or more likely, as a separate SPDX package definition within the same SPDX document. The originating package definition could have the FilesAnalyzed set to false which allows for a rather small number of required fields. The origin could then be indicated by a relationship between the file and the package.
I see. Is there already any tooling available to make this actually usable in practice? Sw360, DejaCode?


cheers,
Matija

P.S. Sorry about the late reply, I had a lot going on in the past few weeks/months.

Shall we start sharing on social media? If we all take a show, and include a link to the survey, I think we can get some more useful data.

Surveys are great, but there's one important problem with this one. In
order to fill out your survey even read the complete questions, it
requires downloading and running the google docs proprietary software in
a browser which excludes people like myself who choose to avoid running
proprietary software whenever possible.

Background information about proprietary software in your browser:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.en.html.

There are many reasons why it seems wrong to require people to run
nonfree software to contribute, I hope its fairly obvious, I can list
some if it isn't.

Re: Adding a new opendata-focus license?

J Lovejoy
 

Hi Bastien,

The process for requesting a new license be added to the SPDX License List is documented here: https://github.com/spdx/license-list-XML/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md (and happy to get your feedback on the documentation of the process!)

By the way - It looks like you sent this to the general mailing list, not the legal mailing list, as this got caught up in our filter. I have released it (obviously), but you might want to make sure you are actually on the legal mailing list here: https://lists.spdx.org/g/spdx-legal (and I’m replying to both lists, but bcc the general list, as we try to keep specific topics to the specific lists)

Thanks!

Dear all,

I'm working for Etalab, the mission for promoting and coordinating
Open Data publications in the french public sector.

The most commonly used license for french open data is the "Open

equivalent to a CC-by 4.0.  You can read it here:

https://www.etalab.gouv.fr/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/open-licence.pdf

What is the process to ask and get a SPDX identifier for this license?

I am sorry if the question has been raised before, I have been on this
list since a few months only.

Thanks in advance for any answer!

·         They don’t have complete information

·         Don’t have the tools to generate and evaluate

·         SPDX Lite is part of guidelines

·         Fits in at a fairly high level of maturity

·         OpenChain - “Making Process”

·         Most suppliers are at low levels of maturity

·         Looking not to fork, but to expand usage of SPDX Lite

·         Lite Description

·         Subset of SPDX

·         Minimum requirement

·         Can be manually generated

·         Proved in actual business use

·         Scenarios

·         1 Unskilled suppliers

·         Useful at a lower level of maturity than SPDX requires

·         2 Non-engineering Staff

·         More understandable by Legal and Procurement staff.

·         Skilled suppliers would still use full SPDX

·         OpenChain compliant suppliers would be sophisticated enough

·         Question: Is SPDX Lite fully SPDX compliant

·         Yes, all mandatory fields are included in SPDX Lite plus some of the optional fields may be included.

Working with Python maintainers to adopt SPDX license expressions

Philippe Ombredanne
 

All:
I started working with the Python community to draft what we call a
PEP (Python Enhancement Proposal) to adopt SPDX license expressions to
document the license of Python packages.
You can join the discussions here:
https://discuss.python.org/t/improving-license-clarity-with-better-package-metadata/2154/57
And see, comment and propose updates to the draft PEP here:
