Agenda
- new license request: from Tom Incorvia for Net-SNMP license:
- this is actually a composite of multiple licenses which appear to be all BSD-3-Clause and one instance of MIT-CMU
- Alan did comparison to be sure on BSD-3-Clause - only one difference in Sun license that has statement of trademark ownership and other text at beginning. Not substantive from a compliance perspective but we would normally make this a new license. Discussed possibility of options with new markup capabilities on this kind of thing, as well as “needs legal discussion” flags on BSD-2-Clause-NetBSD and BSD-2-Clause-FreeBSD — decided this could be a feature request later, but for now, stick to our normal way of operating.
- Can identify Net-SNMP with license expression of: BSD-3-Clause AND MIT-CMU AND LicenseRef-<> now. or can add new license for Sun variation and use that instead of LicenseRef- - will email Tom I for further thoughts
- BSD-Source-Code is missing some markup in one spot where there is a name - needs to be added to master file as per Sam’s email - Sam to add to XML file
- BSD-2-Clause example that uses "expressed" instead of "express" in first line of disclaimer section - lawyers on call agreed to legal difference. also found an instance of this in BSD-3-Clause
- address with specific markup - Kris or Sam will add to XML files
- NOTE tasks for getting XML conversion done and timeline from last call: http://wiki.spdx.org/view/Legal_Team/Minutes/2016-07-21 !!!
Next call is Aug 18, then Sept 1 - so we may schedule an additional call the week of Aug 22nd if need be
Kris' advice on XML review: don't get caught up in flexibility of new tooling (XML format, etc.) - keep same/conservative approach as always, unless you find something that is plain wrong/we missed before
