Issue
To correctly fulfill the terms of some licenses you must know who the licensor is. Currently SPDX has no way to represent this in the situation where there are multiple licenses.
Proposal
Modify the spec in the following ways
- Introduce a
LicenseDeclaration
entity type. Any number of instances of this type of entity would be allowing in an SPDX dataset. - A
LicenseDeclaration
entity would have zero or morelicensor
properties whose values areAgent
s. - A
LicenseDeclaration
entity would have exactly onelicensing
property whose values is aAnyLicenseInfo
. - A
LicenseDeclaration
entity would have zero or moredeclarer
properties whose values areAgent
s. - Allow the value of the
licenseConcluded
property to be aLicenseDeclaration
in addition to the currently allowedAnyLicenseInfo
.
