Legal Team Report - Jilayne¶
- Going through the XML conversion of the license list
- Action items for closing on the XML conversion is published
- Decided to do the next license list update around the end of Oct. which will use the new XML file format
Cross Functional Topics - Gary¶
- Discussion on whether the new XML license master list format is intended for external tools or to be used internal only to the Legal Team in producing the license list
- Gary recalled a discussion where we decided the first release of the XML format would be internal only
- Consensus that one of the overall goal of the XML format is to enable better tooling - the issue is only related to the phasing of the XML format implementation
- Some of the issues to external tool use would be the inconsistency in the element and property names with the SPDX specification
- Request that the technical team be involved if the XML format is to be used externally
- Will be discussed on the legal call
