Google Summer of Code¶
- Would like some additional visibility on status and projects
- Being discussed in business team
- Merge tool status discussed - progress being made. Will post weekly status to mailing list
Filetypes¶
- Nuno has a number of additional file types that he has used
- Concern about too much detail and possible "re-inventing the wheel"
- Discussion on Mime-type as a related standard
- Question on how this impacts licensing
- Agree that more detailed file types are needed for tooling, but is it needed in the resultant SPDX document?
- Proposal: Take media type and subtype
- Concern that we might want to express source since it is licensing related
- Follow-up to map mime types to file types - Kate will follow-up
License Expression Language¶
- Mark Gisi has a draft shared with those on the call
- Request to merge the detailed syntax descriptions from the current spec into the proposal
- Discussion on parenthesis
- Not included on the list of precedence, but described later (since parenthesis is not an operator)
- Proposal to restrict prenthesis to AND and OR
- Concern over increasing complexity
- Agreed that it is not a good practice
- Mark will consider adding to the spec
- Jack proposed an alternative way of describing license expressions - will send to Mark for consideration
