Cross Functional Issues – Phil

  • Valeo
    • Supplier to Automotive Industry- Autonomous Cars, Connected Car, Intuitive Control
    • Middle of complex supply chain
  • Why they think SPDX is important
    • Industry is “likes” standards, procedures, rules
    • Have an explicit program to ensure respecting licenses and meeting obligations in all products
    • Bruno is in charge of OSS compliance
  • How they use
    • License List
    • Internal policy started with the SPDX list
    • They use the SPDX license IDs in all of their documents and databases (including promoting publicly)
    • And they check any licenses anyone supplies against our standard text
    • Document Spec
    • Prototyped use internally
    • Have been looking for hierarchy, so 2.0 is important; evaluating in 2015
  • Future Intent
    • Large OEMs (car companies) are starting to require
    • Customer requirements are making this a priority in 2015
    • Will need to require from their own suppliers
    • Integration with Yocto is critical
    • Aiming for chain of trust, based on SPDX
  • Questions
    • When you evaluated SPDX, any features beyond hierarchy that they require?
    • Not yet mature enough to completely evaluate
    • How did you hear of? How can we promote?
    • LinuxCon Europe session- Bruno came then promoted internally.
    • He expects that in his space that SPDX will catch on quickly because of car makers requirements
    • SPDX and Yocto- Is there only interest in Yocto integration or more general integration?
    • Broader interest in integrating into process

General Status - Phil

  • On track for 2.0 release at CollabSummit
