Where: Bridge info enclosed

Hi everybody,

This term I taught a course on Intellectual Property and Software
Development. the students were expected to conduct some research as part
of the evaluation. One of them, Trevor Maryka (who I think is also
subscribed to this list) took on the problem of trying to determine how
'variable' are the BSD and the MITs and what this means for their
standardization under SPDX. he makes a set of recommendations to SPDX
(see section 5). I am attaching his paper. It is, in my opinion, very
good news for SPDX.

Re: SPDX General Meeting Minutes and New Schedule Philip Odence #789 Note: at the bottom is information on the new schedule going forward, in case you missed it. Meeting Time: Thursday, Feb 7, 8am PST / 10 am CST / 11am EST / 15:00 UTC. http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html Conf call dial-in: Conference code: 7812589502 Toll-free dial-in number (U.S. and Canada): (877) 435-0230 International dial-in number: (253) 336-6732 For those dialing in from other regions, a list of toll free numbers can be found: https://www.intercallonline.com/portlets/scheduling/viewNumbers/viewNumber.do?ownerNumber=6053870&audioType=RP&viewGa=false&ga=OFF Administrative Agenda Attendance Approve Minutes- http://spdx.org/wiki/2013110-general-meeting-minutes Technical Team Report - Kate Legal Team Report - Jilayne Business Team Report – Jack/Scott Cross Functional Issues – Phil Website Update – Jack From: Phil Odence <podence@...> Date: Wednesday, January 23, 2013 10:52 AM To: "spdx@..." <spdx@...> Subject: SPDX General Meeting Minutes and New Schedule Here are the meeting minutes from the January 10 General Meeting: http://spdx.org/wiki/2013110-general-meeting-minutes Going forward, we will go to a monthly schedule for the General Meeting. Recall that the purpose of the General Meeting is simply for each group to report out on progress, and the feeling is that a monthly reporting is sufficient. I will continue to issue minutes to the list and encourage anyone with interest in SPDX to sign up for this list to receive a monthly summary. We keep the traffic on this list low so as not to be burdensome to folks who just want to keep their fingers on the pulse. The real work gets done on the respective team lists. So, going forward, the General Meetings will be held at the same time, 11am US Eastern, on the first Thursday of every month. The next one is February 7. I have not historically, used a calendar invite, but that is becoming a custom of the teams, so I will follow suit. Please don't respond to me, as this is a big list and I don’t want to be flooded with responses. Lastly, let me put in a plug for a couple of volunteers to work with Jack on maintaining the website. This is not a big commitment, probably no more than a few hours a week, but it would be very helpful. Let know if you have any interest. Best, Phil L.

Re: BSD-2\|3-Clause-Clear typo Jilayne Lovejoy <jilayne.lovejoy@...> #788 Good catch, Camille! I have made the change in the master file, but it may not show up on the website until we push another version. This could be a few months, as v1.17 was just released. I'll see about making an incremental change in the meantime... Thanks!

Thursday SPDX General Meeting Philip Odence #782 Welcome back to the New Year. Some special notices: Please check out the minutes of the last meeting. There were some great inputs from Adam Cohen and Mark Gisi's trip to Japan and Jack's trip to Nebraska: http://spdx.org/wiki/20121129-general-meeting-minutes Meeting Scheduling: General Meeting will move to once per month Business and Legal Teams Both looking at rescheduling (although retaining the semi-monthly rhythm) Both will be trying to drive more work to the mailing list, so potentially shorter or fewer meetings in the future We really need someone(s) to help Jack out with administration of the website. Helping will not be a huge time sink, but is sorely needed. Please let me know if you are interested and I'll provide more info. Meeting Time: Thursday, Jan 10, 8am PST / 10 am CST / 11am EST / 15:00 UTC. http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html Conf call dial-in: Conference code: 7812589502 Toll-free dial-in number (U.S. and Canada): (877) 435-0230 International dial-in number: (253) 336-6732 For those dialing in from other regions, a list of toll free numbers can be found: https://www.intercallonline.com/portlets/scheduling/viewNumbers/viewNumber.do?ownerNumber=6053870&audioType=RP&viewGa=false&ga=OFF Administrative Agenda Attendance Approve Minutes- http://spdx.org/wiki/20121129-general-meeting-minutes Technical Team Report - Kate Legal Team Report - Jilayne Business Team Report – Jack/Scott Cross Functional Issues – Phil Website Update – Jack L.

Taxonomy to classify types of software licences stijn.goedertier@... #775 Hi all, I would like to bring to your attention that the AMDS.SW Working Group has released 9 software taxonomies under an open licence with multilingual labels in 7 languages. These taxonomies [3] include: Licence Type, Intended Audience, Natural Language, Operating System, Programming Language,Status, Topic, User Interface / Graphical Environment, and Publisher Type. I think especially the Licence Type taxonomy could be of particular interest to the SPDX community. The taxonomies can be viewed on this web page: https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/svn/adms_foss/amds_sw_taxonomies/ADMS_SW_v1.00_Taxonomies.html and can be downloaded here: https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/asset/adms_foss/release/release100 The taxonomies are represented in a machine readable format: the SKOS standard of W3C. The majority of these taxonomies were originally made available in March 2012 by SourceForge under CC BY 3.0 [2]. We hope that the use of common taxonomies to categorise software will contribute to making software better searchable on the Web. with kind regards, Stijn [1] https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/svn/adms_foss/amds_sw_taxonomies/ADMS_SW_v1.00_Taxonomies.html [2] http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/wiki/Software%20Map%20and%20Trove [3] https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/asset/adms_foss/release/release100 [4] https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/asset/adms_foss/description Professional Mail Professional Mail------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This e-mail is intended only for the person to whom it is addressed.
