Issue

The origin of a file is an important fact that is not described by and spdx file.

Proposal

Define a property of File whose value is a DOAP Project. The DOAP Project will contain the project name and homepage URL when they are known. It also might also included more complete information regarding a project, if such information is known. For more information regarding DOAP see <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Description_of_a_Project">Wikipedia</a> and <a href="http://schemapedia.com/schemas/doap">Schemapedia</a>

Multiple instances of this property are allowed because the exact origin of a file may be unclear. If a file was first created in a project A and then copied and modified in project B the file version of the file in project be would be an artifact of both projects A and B.
