  1. Title: Committers provides SPDX data for a code being committed
  2. Primary Actor: Committer
  3. Goal in Context: To include SPDX data for code being committed to an upstream project.
  4. Stakeholders and Interests: 
    1. Committer: 
      1. To communicate the licensing information for the code they are committing to the upstream project.
    2. Upstream maintainers: 
      1. To be able to document the license information for the commits they receive
      2. To communicate the licensing information for their copyrightable artifacts.  
      3. To have their licenses respected
    3. Consumers of upstream source:
      1. To receive accurate and clear information of licensing of upstream source
      2. To be able to comply easily with licenses for upstream source
      3. To be able to subset, extend, or aggregate artifacts and pass on clear authoritative verifiable license for the resulting new copyrightable artifacts.
  5. Preconditions: 
    1. Committer has decided on licensing information for their commit.
  6. Main Success Senario: Committer communicates accurate complete licensing information for their commit in an SPDX data format as part of the commit process.
  7. Failed End Condition: Committer communicates inaccurate incomplete licensing information for their package.
  8. Trigger:
    1. Commit of code to an upstream project.
  9. Notes:
