  • Spec
    • All known issues are addressed in 2.2
    • Under discussion:
      • Idea of a short format for copyrights ala license IDs from FSFE
        • Would be added as an appendix (like license IDs)
        • Could use a joint tech/legal teams call
      • Exploring branching strategy
      • Pared down version, defining minimal subset (from Japan work group)
        • Still SPDX compliant as it will utilize mandatory fields
        • Part of the spec
        • Important to communicate that; it’s not a fork

      • 8 projects total (a record)
