Minutes
- A. Review of December Meeting Minutes - Team was asked to review December meeting minutes by 20-Jan-2011; for approval at meeting scheduled for 26-Jan-2011.
- B. "Create Process/Method to Add Licenses" - Team agreed with moving the process/method to created/add new licenses (to the standard SPDX license list) to the SPDX Business Workstream.
- C. SPDX Metadata License - Team agreed to pick a default license for the SPDX metadata, such default license to be agreed by this team and Linux Foundation Member counsel. BSD-based/MIT-like was the general consensus. Whether additional proprietary licenses would be allowed was tabled, pending the decision on the default metadata license. Rockett and Karen Copenhaver to lead.
- D. Required use of Standard License Acronyms - Michael Herzog proposed that this requirement be limited to those publishing SPDX metadata. No objections from the team.
- E. Issue raised from Tech Workstream on the need for a Legal Policy on "SPDX Not Validating License Recited" - This topic lead into a detailed discussion of "objective" verse "subjective" metadata. A second meeting was scheduled for 14-Jan-2011 to conclude this issue. See minutes from 14-Jan-2011 meeting.
