== Agenda ==

'''1) Standard Headers issues'''
* overview of what the Standard Header field is and the usefulness of it and overview of issues
* how do we accommodate for any L/GPL+ via the standard header now that we have license expression "+" operator? is this even a problem?
* add markup indicating "or later" as omitable with a comment or note that if that language is present, then use GPL-2.0+
** where to put this note or comment? use existing Note field (we could add field later if needed, but doesn't seem necessary now)
* for standard headers with variable text fields, use varible markup there too
* adding markup to the Standard Header may also mean some edits to Matching Guidelines - review
* Mark will do this work: 1) general review of Standard Headers for correctness; 2) add markup (variable and omitable); 3) add Note for GNU licenses re: "or later" and 4) will also review licenses that have more than one option for Standard Header; if it can't be dealt with via markup, then will raise on Legal call

'''2) Adding more license exceptions'''
* Paul checked with Tech team as to whether adding more exceptions for 2.1 and end of June would be okay - Tech team affirmed :)

'''3) Package level license identification'''
* Mark proposal: sometimes you might have various bits of a package under different licenses (e.g., main code under GPL; libraries under LGPL; documentation under FDL) - no way to accurately express this, b/c "and" is not really appropriate or comfortable (assuming "and" means all licenses apply to all files in package). Issue is at package level, not at file level. Should we have a new operator to indicate different licenses apply to different parts of the package that is not in an "and" way via a ";"? discussed this; will need further dedicated discussion
