Technical Team/Use Cases/2.0/Debian has an interest in only building things that are linking license compatible
From SPDX Wiki
- Title: Debian has an interest in only building things that are linking license compatible
- Primary Actor: Builder of binary copyrightable artifact
- Goal in Context: To be able to determine from the SPDX data of the source and libraries linked into a binary executable what licenses are in play so that judgements can be made about license compatibility.
- Stakeholders and Interests:
- Binary Builder:
- To understand the license information about the source code and libraries linked into the binary they are building.
- Binary Builder:
- Preconditions:
- Binary builder has some way to understand what source is built into their binary
- Binary builder has some way to understand what libraries are linked into their binary
- Binary builder has some understanding of the license informatino for the source built into their binary and an expression of it in SPDX form.
- Main Success Scenario: Binary builder can determine the licenses of all the source code and libaries that are linked into their binary.
- Failed End Condition: Binary builder can determine the licenses of all the source code and libaries that are not linked into their binary.
- Trigger:
- Binary build time
- Commit time?
- Notes:
