== Agenda ==

'''1) LinuxCon, various other updates, administrative stuff'''
* Dennis to take lead on whole license request process (Dennis gone 8/4 - 8/22, so Jilayne will cover during that time)
* Jilayne to take lead on organizing time for LinuxCon and changes needed to website (on LIcense List page, specifically, e.g. add standard header field to web page; move old license lists to git, issue tracking there?)
* Scott to take lead on License Matching Guidelines process
* Paul to continue with first pass on Fedora list
* Tom Vidal still working on GPL exceptions list, just needs to make it more presentable and will send along via email soon; has about 17 exceptions on list so far

* LinuxCon: Jilayne, Mark, Phil, Paul, Scott - will be at Zac, Dennis not coming
** license list or legal team issues that are critical to release of v1.2 of the spec? thing to do before LinuxCon versus things to do AT LinuxCon
*** issue of being able to refer to which version of the license list was used when the SPDX file was generated; need to add field in spec and need to add way to better access older version of license list - Mark to take lead on this topic
*** proposal to have spdx.org always have most current version of license list and then have a git repository with download for current and old versions; "new" website is currently lacking a link to download the .zip file with the license list, so this would also fix that issue
*** what about suggestion for tagging source code files (using SPDX short identifier) - technical team looking at this in light of recent U-Boot use of same; Jack following this one

'''2) review requested license additions''': see http://wiki.spdx.org/view/Legal_Team/License_List/Licenses_Under_Consideration
* Ruby License (see discussion cut and pasted below from previous email) - Ruby license is already on SPDX-LL, but the license text includes the "notice" stating the disjunctive choices; support to revise license text to remove the notice, so that it's license text only (otherwise, woudl require two license, the only difference being this statement)
* IBM PowerPC Initialization and Boot Software - ADD (do not include notice at top stating disjunctive option, as per Ruby decision)
* Unlicense (http://unlicense.org/) - ADD

'''3) License List Matching Guidelines'''
* Scott to take lead on this
* revisit assignments / update from http://wiki.spdx.org/view/Legal_Team/Minutes/2013-06-20
** Zac will take on GNU family of licenses by next call
** Scott will take on Apache 2.0 and MPL family by next call
** Jilayne will post a check-off list and add access (Jilayne to add: Scott, Tom V., Dennis, and whoever else on call who isn't on there now)

'''4) Fedora List'''
* decided to also move this to a publicly available Google doc - Jilayne to put this up and send out invites; this way anyone can update or can be updated as we discuss and then no need to email around documents
* list of 250 licenses; Paul has made initial pass on about 150! he's offered to keep going
* team to start considering licenses in following order;
## on Fedora list, not on SPDX LL (and no short identifier "issue")
## license on either or both lists with a short identifier "issue' (i.e. short identifier is different on one list than other, or Fedora uses short identifier to refer to what SPDX LL considers different licenses
