Key things to look at during review:

  1. identify which parts of the license template are important or unimportant for purposes of matching (as per the Matching Guidelines)

  3. consider any changes that need to be made to the Matching Guidelines or License List Overview/description of fields

Process for Review

Labels created in Github: https://github.com/spdx/license-list-XML/labels

  • if you find a license that has acknowledgment text, then label it with "has acknowledgement" - for example see:
  • use ... define these??
  • If you have approved the content, but otherwise approved, use "approved" label
  • If the license is good to go, then click on the "merge pull request" and you're done!
