Special Presentations - Xavier Figouoa/ Philip Ekong Obie, GSoC¶

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
Tools
GSoC
- 8 projects total (a record)
- Great progress, all passed first evaluations
Flurry of tooling work with the new license list
- Better matching/copyright matching
- License format improvements

License List
3.6 version went live yesterday
- 10 new licenses and exceptions
- Other mark up and doc updates
Attention now turning to 3.7
Other topics of discussion already covered.
Namespace Project
Need to make clear the difference between LL and NS registry
NS is an option for rejected licenses
Could be a stop before being accepted
