Re: licensing data of FOSS

Really nice work Daniel, thanks for pointing it out. :)

Looking forward to seeing the SPDX files being generated, but this is going to definitely be handy to do some cross referencing with, as is.

Hi everybody,

We are trying to create a Web site where we publish the
licensing data
of open source applications. This is work in progress, and
it needs
work.

We are trying to analyze different versions of applications
that appear
in Debian. Each app is broken down by license (as identified
by Ninka.

For example, zlib:


http://ag.cs.uvic.ca/project/1114/files/1/

or sqlite

http://ag.cs.uvic.ca/project/1302/files/1/

You can navigate the applications here:

Hopefully this will help in the development of SPDX.

SPDX discussion on the BusyBox mailing list.

Bradley M. Kuhn <bkuhn@...>
 

I've not had much time to keep up with SPDX in the last few months, but
I wanted to let everyone know that "the thread" that I've been insisting
for years ought to be started on the BusyBox mailing list has finally
begun! I'm very glad to see it.

Here are links the first two messages:
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/busybox/2012-September/078399.html
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/busybox/2012-September/078416.html

I think a thread is likely to get moving, so I encourage anyone
interested in doing a "real world" example of SPDX file join the BusyBox
list and participate. Conservancy is really hoping to get heavily
involved at this point in building a good SPDX file for BusyBox and our
other projects; I'm looking for ways to make that happen now.

Proposed F2F in Oct - cancelled

Ibrahim Haddad <ibrahim@...>
 

Hi All,
It appears it will be difficult to get a critical mass of people together for the F2F in 2 weeks, so we are pushing the meeting out. Thanks to all who signed up on the web and made an effort to plan to attend. Please direct any inquiries about F2F mtg to the WG leadership who will determine when we have the next meeting and will call for it.
Ibrahim 



Re: F2F in Sept/Oct - looking good - if you are not signed up, please do so

Ibrahim Haddad <ibrahim@...>
 

Hi Everyone,

We have the most possible attendance for the F2F on Oct 1-2 or Oct 2-3.

Jack (TI) is able to host on Oct 1-2 in Austin. For those who can not make it in person, we can have a google hangout session.

Adam (Cisco) will get back to me end of this week if there is a possibility to host in the bay area. 

Can you please update next to your name in  http://spdx.org/wiki/planning-face-face-meeting-september-october-2012, if you can attend Oct 1-2 in Austin? Sorry there is no easier way to track (if there is let me know).

Once Adam gets back to me, I will let you know and we can decide on location based on people who can attend in person.

Thank you,
Ibrahim

Hi All,

It looks the F2F for Sept or Oct is gaining some steam with more people signing up as able to attend.

If you have not considered attending, please revisit and sign up for the dates you can.

More expanded ideas for SPDX WG

Ibrahim Haddad <ibrahim@...>
 

Hi Everyone,

Based on the meeting we had at LinuxCon NA, I am sending some detailed examples of the idea I discussed during that meeting.
Some fall under the Business team specifically, others are cross-teams.
I think these would help the WG in more ways than one. If the WG decides to adopt some of these, I am willing to help out. 

Thanks,
Ibrahim 


Re: Followup question after Linuxcon talk

Manbeck, Jack
 

Robert,

I'm glad to hear that and thanks for your kind words.

Your question is an interesting one and it is not a use case that we may have specifically solved yet in that we don't have a field that expresses there is a mandatory dependency on source that needs to be fetched. Here are my thoughts. Ideally you could point to the code with the Package Download Location field (4.5). That would work if all the code they need is at one location (as that field only allows one instance I believe). To clarify that the there is a code dependency (this the spec doesn't do explicitly) you could add information to one of the many optional comment fields in the SPDX: For example, the Source Information field (4.9), Creator Comments (3.3) etc.

Keep us up to date with how this progresses. I think documenting solutions to real world problems with SPDX will be valuable for us to capture and put on the site for others and for making adjustments to the specification as needed. Possibly you could even write up your solution and contribute it back?

We may need to take this discussion off of the general list.


Jack

Subject: Followup question after Linuxcon talk

Thanks for a great discussion on spdx its got me interested in wrapping spdx into my current release activities as a release manager.

Say for example I ship an SDK and for a customer to use this SDK they need to download a number of other files that were unable to ship within the package. What would be the best way with spdx to indicate such? Ideally if I could ship them I would but for reasons outside of my control I am unable to do so.

To date I have been using Nexus pro to decorate the artifacts that make up the bill of materials by adding metadata to this tool. The metadata i've been storing is inline with what spdx already tracks. I wrote my own Maven plugins to take care of the metadata aspect of adding it and pulling it out of Nexus when producing the bill of materials. What I am thinking is that instead of storing metadata i'll just attach an spdx file as an attached artifact with a classifier and for every artifact that is subsequently packaged it will just pull down the spdx files and aggregate.

Looks like I need to do some reading of the spec and whitepapers etc to get up to speed.

Robert,

Thanks for your message and joining the list. You pose an interesting scenario! While the SPDX is typically provided with the corresponding code I suspect there might be some way that this could be accomplished or communicated -- perhaps using some of the comment fields or maybe it makes sense to create and contribute SPDX for the code you're not shipping but I will defer to the technical experts on the list.
