  • Action items for closing on the XML conversion is published
  • Decided to do the next license list update around the end of Oct. which will use the new XML file format

Cross Functional Topics - Gary

  • Discussion on whether the new XML license master list format is intended for external tools or to be used internal only to the Legal Team in producing the license list
    • Gary recalled a discussion where we decided the first release of the XML format would be internal only
    • Consensus that one of the overall goal of the XML format is to enable better tooling - the issue is only related to the phasing of the XML format implementation
    • Some of the issues to external tool use would be the inconsistency in the element and property names with the SPDX specification
    • Request that the technical team be involved if the XML format is to be used externally
    • Will be discussed on the legal call
