Re: GitHub announces license selection in SPDX format
Philip Odence
Of course. Good thinking. (or, limited thinking on my part)
Would be interested to hear if anyone has more details.

I think that's just the drop down menu being shown (human readable), for selection.
Key is what's being stored (which is probably the short form). But I'm just guessing here.
Hi Nuno,
Thanks for flagging!

Introduction: SPDX Report Library
Mark Gisi
I would like to announce the availability of the SPDX Report Library. The objective of this program is to create a repository of articles to capture and share community knowledge about anything and everything SPDX. For example, this knowledge base covers a diverse collection of topics including (but not limited to): technical issues, best practices, relevant legal topics, tool proposals, adoption strategies and analysis, license compliance considerations and position papers.
The business working group would like to encourage the SPDX community (producers and users) to consider sharing their ideas, positions, best practices, and experiences as an SPDX Report. A description of the program can be found here: http://wiki.spdx.org/view/SPDXReports
Currently the library includes three reports found here: http://wiki.spdx.org/view/SPDXReports2014
Feedback and submissions can be sent to: press@...
best, - Mark

SPDX X-Ray
Sameer Ahmed
Hi,
I would like to announce the availability of X-Ray, Wind River’s latest free SPDX reporting service available at spdx.windriver.com. X-Ray delivers SPDX data in a very human friendly presentation that includes: · Bar and pie charts that highlight overlooked license information · Tables illustrating license counts, percentages and classifications · License Quality Index (LQI) - a measurement of a package’s license management effort · SPDX data in an easy to read spreadsheet format · The raw SPDX file in the standard Name/Value format
An example X-Ray report came be found here for the cairo-1.10.2 package: http://spdx.windriver.com/LQI/Report/cairo-1.10.2.tar.gz_0a926d3c6e.htm
To receive free SPDX X-Ray reports you can upload a package (or select example packages) at: http://spdx.windriver.com/pkg_upload.aspx
Regards, Sameer

All,
Parlor F is a little tricky to find. It’s on the lobby level. Use the map but its tucked away in a corner in the executive center I think it’s called. By the gift shop.

On behalf of the SPDX Legal Team, I’m thrilled to announce that SPDX License List v1.20 is now live. You can find the updated web pages in the usual spot, http://spdx.org/licenses/, which also includes a link to the “raw” master files on Git.
This release includes the largest number of new licenses - 91 added to be exact - that we’ve ever done and represents some tireless (and sometimes tedious) work on the part of the SPDX Legal Team. The majority of the licenses added are from a review of the Fedora license list (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main?rd=Licensing#Good_Licenses) to identify licenses on Fedora’s list that were not on the SPDX License List. In the future, we will post a short identifier conversion table to map where the SPDX short identifiers and Fedora short identifiers differ. Formatting has also been improved for the license text to appear more consistent and readable on the web pages.
As always, if anyone catches any errors or omissions, please let us know (but perhaps, wait a couple days to give everyone a chance to celebrate first :)
Here’s to all the hard work and a total of 306 licenses!!
Cheers!
