DRAFT AS OF 28 August 2013 Currently it is a draft until we formulate the plan at which time this sentence will be removed.

Adoption

This page is being used to track the adoption of SPDX.

We will track adoption in three key areas:

  • SPDX License List
  • Generating or consuming SPDX Documents
  • Using SPDX meta tags in software

License List

Overview

The license list is a key component for SPDX.

Goals

We talked about one year goals. Should we have one and five?

Metrics

How we will measure adoption of the license list.

Proposal: Keep a running list of organizations/people who are using?

Generation and Consumption of SPDX Documents

Overview

Goals

We talked about one year goals. Should we have one and five?

Metrics

How we will measure adoption of this.

Use of META Tags

Overview

This is a new area. It focuses on using META tags in code to help in identification of licensing and possibly other SPDX information. The technical team is looking at writing this up. Currently the U-boot community has started using a field called SPDX-License-Identifier. You can see an example here: http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=blob;f=post/post.c;h=4af5355fa5a20f9c2e763f37b269bea38d43e8ea;hb=6612ab33956ae09c5ba2fde9c1540b519625ba37

Goals

We talked about one year goals. Should we have one and five?

Metrics

How we will measure adoption of this.

Proposal: Do we keep a running list?
