Aww man, you've got to be kidding? You got rid of the "+" signifierThis issue has seen a a lot of discussion over the past year (going back at least as far as May [1]).

I propose we continue this discussion on spdx-legal@ only, and have only included the other spdx-*@ in my message in case folks there are wondering where the conversation went ;).

Re: SPDX License List 3.0 is now live!
Philip Odence
AMAZING! And, of course, Jilayne deserves kudos beyond measure.
From: <spdx-bounces@...> on behalf of Jilayne Lovejoy <opensource@...>
Hi all,
Thanks to a lot of hard work by various members of the SPDX legal team, we have now (finally!) gone live with version 3.0 of the SPDX License List - including use of the new XML format for the master files and changes to the GNU license identifiers due to collaboration with the FSF. As always, you can see the new version at the usual place: https://spdx.org/licenses/
There is still some odds and ends to tidy up, and we’ll have a blog post with a more thorough description of the changes after the 1st of the year. In the meantime, I hope everyone enjoys the holiday weekend and New Year’s festivities (in whatever form you choose)!
Thanks again to the massive effort by the SPDX legal team and tech team members who have tirelessly made this happen!
Cheers,
Jilayne

Hi Kate

I think this is just as exciting as the kernel development. It’s a fantastic example of cross-community collaboration. I’ve shared this news on social media and also wanted to throw my hat into the ring to lend a hand where useful. Regards Shane

FreeBSD adding in SPDX license identifers too...
Kate Stewart
And in addition to Linux getting serious in terms of adding SPDX identifiers, we also have FreeBSD applying them to their code base. Kate ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Pedro Giffuni <pfg@...> Date: Thu, Dec 7, 2017 at 11:31 AM Subject: SPDX ID-tag as part of FreeBSD preferred license To: SPDX-legal <spdx-legal@...> Hi legal-team! As a follow up to the monthly meeting (thanks for the invitation), here is the link to FreeBSD preferred license: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en Which of course now includes the SPDX ID-license identifier :).

SPDX license identifiers in the Linux kernel
Kate Stewart
Some of you have already noticed that this started in 2016 but as of 4.14, we had a major breakthrough and cleanup of all the files without a license reference all had SDPX identifiers added to them. There are some good writeups of the work emerging. LWN has an excellent summary with links to more references at: There's also a good blog by one of the kernel developers from Samsung explaining how to add the identifiers as well that came out last week. Some other excellent documentation that has emerged including how to integrate SPDX one liners into a project is available at: https://reuse.software/practices/ which the linux kernel developers have consulted and worked with for the kernel. Thanks, Kate

Thurs SPDX General Meeting (with special guest speaker) Reminder
Philip Odence
We are fortunate to have Pedro Giffuni speaking with us on Thursday. Pedro is a Mechanical Engineer by profession but has been using FreeBSD since 1997, and eventually became a project committer in 2012. As
part of his involvement in FreeBSD he also became an OpenOffice developer and was involved in the transition from a copyleft project under Oracle's umbrella to a permissively licensed project in order to become an Apache Software Foundation Top Level Project.
Apologies, I have had a conflict arise, so Gary will be hosting.
