Legal Team Report - Jilayne

Finalizing work defining the team's mission purpose of License List that were published two weeks ago. Please comment now or hold your peace. Latest draft:
- Legal Work Group description:"The SPDX Legal Team supports and provides recommendations to the SPDX working groups regarding licensing issues for the specification itself; maintains the SPDX License List; and promotes the SPDX specification to the legal community at-large."
- SPDX License List description:"The SPDX License List is a list of commonly found open source software licenses for the purposes of being able to easily and efficiently identify such licenses in an SPDX document. The SPDX License List includes a standardized short identifier, full name for each license, vetted license text, other basic information, and a canonical permanent URL. By providing a short identifier, users can efficiently refer to a license without having to redundantly reproduce the full license."
Have been providing input to 1.1 spec to incorporate latest thinking on License List and to ensure consistent vocabulary.
Working to make sure new website content is up to date.
Turning attention back to matching guidelines. Aiming to reach closure with 1.1 release (about a month)

Business Team is eager for feedback from other team's on Mission/Vision. Looking to come to closure in the next few weeks. Expectation is that this will help with prioritization of use cases for the 2.0 effort. Latest version (embedded in a set of slides): File:Spdx-mission-review-may-2012-v2.pdf
