SPDX 2.0 Specification Project Overview
Contents
Objectives
This is the next major release of the specification. SPDX 2.0 will extend the specification beyond the package level scope and enhance it to address the needs of corporate supply chains and other key identified use cases.
The specification is still under development, so we would not recommend downloading the version from this wiki page until it is further developed.
We have made a lot of progress recently and there are a few artifacts that you can look at to give you and idea on the 2.0 spec. The best starting point is the minutes from the Linux Collab Summit: wiki.spdx.org/view/Technical_Team/Minutes/2014-03-25
The current goal is to have a first draft by June of this year.
