Business Team Report - Jack/Scott¶

Uboot
Popular project- boot loader for embedded devices
Approached us about defining a standard way to include SPDX-based license data in source code
The one challenge seems to be with handling non-standard license
Linuxcon
Great news that we were able to get a room for Tuesday. (we had had one for Monday, but there are a lot of general and legal track sections on that day we didn't want to overlap with.
Working on agenda, but will include a discussion with the guy from Samsung presenting on SPDX.

Main focus is on creating marked up license templates
Daniel German has started taking formatted inputs from legal team and implement markups
Have been working out the process; seems very clear now.
Now just executing; should be at least well into it by LinuxCon
New licenses submitted:
Uboot
Unlicense

Spec 1.2
Should be released by LinuxCon
Tools will lag slightly. Could use more resources on tools, particularly tag value versions
May include a description of how to reference licenses in code (e.g. Uboot)
Jack has documented the spec release process. (Kudos to Jack!)
Team agreed that for minor releases a tool lag is OK; for major releases, it should be simultaneous.
Would be good to have a 'diff' doc of some sort between releases
