Legal Team Report - Jilayne

  • On going
    • Some new license requests
    • Marking up licenses
  • Fedora list resolution is somewhat stalled and needs a jumpstart
  • FOSDEM report
    • There was a presentation on SPDX in the legal track
      • The presenter showed up late
      • Conference organizers were not happy with that and there were some issues with content
      • Did not reflect well on SPDX, so we need some quality control for conference presence.


Tech Team Report - Jack/ScottS

  • Testing data model
    • Working through real examples in 1.2 and 2.0

    • Hoping to initiate a meeting to discuss how we might cooperate in the OSI projects
      • License Chooser
      • License Compatibility Tools
      • Machine readable license text
    • Aiming for a small joint meeting to kick off
  • Phil posted language describing direction in 2.0 spec section of SPDX.org
  • License Expression Syntax - MarkG
    • Cross functional effort between Tech and Legal Teams to define formal but simple and flexible mechanism for expressing complex licensing of some packages (multiple licensing, exceptions, etc)
    • Will essentially use Boolean operators and parentheses.
    • Productive kick off meeting yesterday; agreement on the issue and reasonable alignment on the approach
    • One more meeting before Collab Summit with the goal of having a draft for discussion at the Summit
