SPDX Goes ISO


Phil Odence
 

I’m pleased to announce that SPDX is now ISO/IEC 5962:2021.

 

Many people have worked hard over the last decade to get us to this point. Big credit goes to my Steering Committee colleagues who have all been instrumental. And we should recognize that this was all Kate’s brainchild. I believe it was Fall of 2009 when she started informally socializing the idea of a standard SBOM format at Linux Foundation events. Not too long thereafter, in the then single weekly meeting, early participants began debating whether it should be SPDE, ultimately deciding “X” at the end would be catchier. And now it’s officially caught.

A big +1 from me. Thank you to all the SPDX contributors and everyone involved in the years-long process of getting the SPDX standard to where it is today, and especially to Kate for her tireless efforts in making it all happen!

A truly amazing achievement – well done and congratulations to Kate and the entire SPDX and Linux Foundation community that made this happen.

 

So much looking forward to advancing SPDX interoperability via the DocFest event.

 

Thanks,

Here’s the LF press release:
http://www.linuxfoundation.org/press-release/spdx-becomes-internationally-recognized-standard-for-software-bill-of-materials
This is great news, very happy to see it and kudos to everyone involved.

People may also be interested to know that we just merged SPDX SBOM generation
into OpenEmbedded-Core, just before our feature freeze for our October release
(3.4).

This means that Yocto Project will have SPDX and hence ISO compliant SBOM
generation out the box from then and hence on our next LTS planned for April.

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=f1a34a63e44dc444ed213c48bfeab9da1196bfc8
(and following patches)

Cheers,

Richard

I just realized that the DocFest will be demonstrating interoperability of an ISO standard SBOM.

Great timing getting the ISO standard status before the 9/16 DocFest. Very cool!

I guess it will…

The OpenChain one took a couple of months to appear, though, so I don’t know how quickly this gets updated.

"I guess it will..." does not sound very reassuring, to be honest 🤠

So will it definitely become an "ISO Publicly Available Standard" and is that just a question of time?

Viele Grü0e,

It now costs CHF198 to buy. This is the ISO way, and I think it's literally criminal.
As in: violates UN Charter of Human Rights.

If it doesn't wind up on the Publically Available Standards list, then I
think it's just been killed as a specification.
No open source person is going to buy the document.


William Bartholomew
 

I’ll defer to Phil or Kate for an official answer, but my understanding is that SPDX will continue to publish the specification directly from the SPDX project to the community, but certain versions will be also published as ISO standards (the first being 2.2.1 which is materially the same as what’s published on the SPDX site today).

I believe that is correct. It seems an odd systems, but as I understand it, it’s not unusual to have free and paid for versions of specs with the same content. Openchain is, I believe, and example of same.

The content that went into the standard is the same as what is
in our github repo today, and a pretty version is at:  https://spdx.github.io/spdx-spec/.
The sources for the 2.2.1 are at: https://github.com/spdx/spdx-spec that fed into the review
process.   There's some editorial changes we incorporated into the ISO spec after the review, but nothing substantive, and we're working on a plan right now to capture those in SPDX 2.2.2 release.

Net: the ISO version of the specification has some specific formatting requirements 
that ISO requests us to follow (document structure, table numbering, etc.), but the
actual fields are publicly available either at the web link or the github repo directly.

SPDX is a living standard that is evolving with open participation in the SPDX tech
mailing list and calls.   Issues and pull requests are encouraged and welcome as we continue
to evolve to SPDX 3.0.   Once we solidify on the next set of changes, we may decide to submit to ISO, but it's being worked on in the github repo first.

Phil,

 

               Minimal SBOM elements specified by NTIA for Executive Order (EO) 14028 do not include license data element requirements (see attached). The EO and the NTIA SBOM minimal elements focus on Cyber risk, i.e. C-SCRM, whereas license management is a Legal/Financial risk.

 

The use of SBOM for license legal risk management is indeed a good practice, but it is not required to satisfy NTIA minimal SBOM requirements for EO 14028.

Thanks, Matija. Absolutely not just license compliance. Security too is a big driver and an important part/direction of SPDX.

Congratulations!

This is indeed a massive step for the software world, and hopefully not just
in terms of license compliance!

I know. I’m just excited by the prospect of synergies and more use of SPDX in
the wild!

I can already see how the wider community would start working together on
joint SPDX documents, fixing issues together, nesting/referring existing SPDX
documents for subcomponents in the SPDX documents of the wider codebase
instead of re-scanning the whole thing over and over again …ah, may the dreams
finally become true! :)


cheers,
Matija
