3.0 Model

• Proposed update from William
• Came out of feedback from OMG group
• Feedback on current model:
  • Exclusively focused on licensing and IP
  • Not very approachable
• Different profiles for the different usages (e.g. IP, Security)
• Feedback: Change “Intellection Property” to “Licensing” for profile name
• Tooling – do we need to support all profiles?
  • SPDX focused on syntax
  • Producers and consumers have policies on what profiles are supported
• Discussion on Relationship – issue has already been added
• Discussion on FilesAnalyzed – William will add an issue to track

SPDX Document License

• We didn’t have a quorum to discuss completely
• Steve and Jilyane are researching the reasons for the mandatory license declaration currently in use
• Request that those who would like it changed to document the reasons
• Philippe suggested that for some use cases where there is a contract in place between the supplier and consumer, the license for the SPDX document be in the license and not the document itself
• Steve will open an issue to track
