Technical Team/Use Cases/2.0/Committers provides SPDX data for a code being committed
From SPDX Wiki
- Title: Committers provides SPDX data for a code being committed
- Primary Actor: Committer
- Goal in Context: To include SPDX data for code being committed to an upstream project.
- Stakeholders and Interests:
- Committer:
- To communicate the licensing information for the code they are committing to the upstream project.
- Upstream maintainers:
- To be able to document the license information for the commits they receive
- To communicate the licensing information for their copyrightable artifacts.
- To have their licenses respected
- Consumers of upstream source:
- To receive accurate and clear information of licensing of upstream source
- To be able to comply easily with licenses for upstream source
- To be able to subset, extend, or aggregate artifacts and pass on clear authoritative verifiable license for the resulting new copyrightable artifacts.
- Preconditions:
- Committer has decided on licensing information for their commit.
- Main Success Senario: Committer communicates accurate complete licensing information for their commit in an SPDX data format as part of the commit process.
- Failed End Condition: Committer communicates inaccurate incomplete licensing information for their package.
- Trigger:
- Commit of code to an upstream project.
