Business Team Report - Jack/Scott

  • The SPDX Survey was closed and the results were compiled. A few of the highlights:
    • Over 100 people responded
    • Punchline was that more than 75% thought it was important/very important to have a standard for exchanging license information.
    • Good representation world wide.
    • Good mix of big and small companies.
    • You can view the results here: http://wiki.spdx.org/view/Business_Team/Surveys
