SPDX 2.0 Specification Project Overview
Contents
Objectives
This is the next major release of the specification. SPDX 2.0 will extend the specification beyond the package level scope and enhance it to address the needs of corporate supply chains and other key identified use cases.
Overall Status
The specification is still under development, so we would not recommend downloading the version from this wiki page until it is further developed.
We have made a lot of progress recently and there are a few artifacts that you can look at to give you and idea on the 2.0 spec. The best starting point is the minutes from the Linux Collab Summit: [LinuxCollab Meeting Minutes ]
The current goal is to have a first draft by June of this year.
Milestones
The target date is set by the Milestone owner. When completed, the date will be changed to say COMPLETE. The milestone owner should also update the Status column as appropriate.
