Plan for review of XML license file
The files can be found here: https://github.com/spdx/license-list-XML
You will need to have a Github account to participate in the review. Let Jilayne know your Github account ID to be added to the repository team.
Key things to review before reviewing the XML files:
- SPDX License List Matching Guidelines: http://spdx.org/spdx-license-list/license-list-overview
- Explanation of the SPDX License List fields: http://spdx.org/spdx-license-list/license-list-overview (at bottom of page)
- Description of current proposal and XML tags: http://wiki.spdx.org/view/Legal_Team/Templatizing/tags-matching
Key things to look at during review:
- identify which parts of the license template are important or unimportant for purposes of matching (as per the Matching Guidelines)
- structural components - ensuring we have groups of clauses correctly identified (automated process takes care of most of this, but sanity check)
- consider any changes that need to be made to the Matching Guidelines or License List Overview/description of fields
