FOSDEM report
- There was a presentation on SPDX in the legal track
  - The presenter showed up late
  - Conference organizers were not happy with that and there were some issues with content

[License_Expression_Review_1|License Expression Syntax] - MarkG
- Cross functional effort between Tech and Legal Teams to define formal but simple and flexible mechanism for expressing complex licensing of some packages (multiple licensing, exceptions, etc)
- Will essentially use Boolean operators and parentheses.
- Productive kick off meeting yesterday; agreement on the issue and reasonable alignment on the approach
- One more meeting before Collab Summit with the goal of having a draft for discussion at the Summit
