Technical Team/Use Cases/2.0/Provide sufficient data to allow consumer to comply with licenses on redistribution
From SPDX Wiki
- Title: Provide sufficient data to allow consumer to comply with licenses on redistribution
- Primary Actor: Consumer who would like to redistribute
- Goal in Context: To include sufficient information to allow the consumer to comply with licensing on redistribution. Note: We are not telling the consumer *how* to comply, just providing information sufficient to comply based on their interpretation of the licenses.
- Stakeholders and Interests:
- Consumers of copyrightable artifacts:
- To receive accurate and clear information of licensing of artifacts
- To be able to comply easily with licenses for artifacts
- To be able to subset, extend, or aggregate artifacts and pass on clear authoritative verifiable license for the resulting new copyrightable artifacts.
- Consumers of copyrightable artifacts:
- Preconditions:
- Consumer has a policy about how to comply with a given license, or the capacity to develop one.
- Main Success Senario: Consumer is able to comply with license on redistribution based on the SPDX data.
- Failed End Condition: Consumer is not able to comply with license on redistribution based on the SPDX data.
- Trigger:
- Receipt of a new copyrightable artifact(s).
- Notes:
