Agenda

1) v2.5 is now live - send email that it's live now to general call and re-sort

2) XML files and review - what needs to be done to get to release stage:

  1. finish main review of licenses so that all can merged and other clean-up (see sub-list below)
  2. exceptions need to be added to XML - Kris will add to Github for review, will probably put them in own pull requests (tools don't care whether in same or different directory)
  3. same situation for deprecated licenses - Gary's point that need XML for tools (Gary and Kris were going back and forth on whether own XML files needed for this or not) - to check on outcome of this
  4. review various webpages for updating
  • * License matching guidelines page

license list overview page; add info/explanation about XML tags

    • define a new process for License List (
    • need new tool to take text of new license and convert to XML file (to do so by hand is a bit tedious). Will still need human review before finalizing.
    • Gary to update tools for new XML format

Other notes on XML review:

  • opening and closing <SPDX> tag are not always same case - should be all upper-case
  • discussion on what to do about some licenses that were flagged as having self-referring numbering - will save this data even tho not complete, just in case we want to go that route later; can be an attribute that is not "seen" at this point; don't merge these yet, Kris will add attribute and merge.
  • for those that are tagged as "requires acknowledgement" - reminder, don't merge, Kris to deal with those all at once
  • body tag to be removed
  • Kris to do another pass to do some clean-up
