Geronimo Sample for SPDX

April 14, 2010

 

This is a sample of what Geronimo would look like under current spec.  Note that I have not provided all of the data – since it would be very large, but just some samples so we can see how it looks.

 

IDENTIFICATION

Version: 1.0

UniqueID: 123456789abcdef

Tool: OSSDeepDiscovery

Tool: FOSSology

Manual: OpenLogic

Reviewed by: Jane Doe

Created: 20100315-HH:MM:SS

 

Issues

  • Will likely have used multiple tools as well as manual review to create this list.  Need to have a way to include all of those.
  • For “manual”, we may want a company name – not a person’s name
  • As packages get passed up the supply chain, it may be modified or added to by multiple people, companies, tools – how do we manage that? 
  • Do we want to include the field names – or just the value?
  • It’s not 100% clear what “reviewed by” means.  Do we really need it?

Issues

  • There doesn’t seem to be any information about what open source packages the additional licenses are associated with.  Do we want that?  Many of the additional licenses come from “bundled” packages.  Knowing what package it is can be helpful, but we don’t show that
  • Where should actual license text go?
  • Copyright holder and Copyright Date can be problematic – since there may be multiple.  What does it mean to have a single one?  Should we list them all here?  Need to align which copyright holders and dates go together. 
  • Should we be listing copyright for other bundled packages?
  • For non-ASF projects, this will get even more complicated.
  • All of the highlighted licenses don’t have a short name in Fedora.  Would we want all of those to be “Other”
  • There are a bunch of other notices/copyrights – how should those be handled?

Issues:

  • We can have lots of files and directories that are spread all over the project that fall under one license, but are of different types and copyrights.   Do we need different blocks for each of these?  Or can we list multiple files/directories
  • Do we really want to list every file here?
  • Do we just show exceptions to the Declared license
  • Do we need copyrights down to the file level? Or just an aggregated list?
  • With license.txt files or copying files, are we applying the license automatically to every file in the directory?  The sub directory?
  • The file type is not easy – doesn’t the file name tell us that?  Can we drop that field
  • I think we should reorient around licenses – list the licenses and then a set of files associated with them….creating a
  •  definitive list of files for a license is not straightforward since you may have a licenses.txt file in a directory
  • Where does the actual license text go?
