SPDX Light¶
- Follow-up on David Wheeler's request for the ability to use SPDX documents without the file by file details
- 2.1 version of the spec helps some, but does not completely satisfy David's request
- Text of the tag that specifies no file information included
- Some additional information requested (see the email thread)
- Yev will add as a bug to track
Review of April 5 actions¶
- External ID's
- Need to update the document to include the regular expressions for all included ID's
- Split regex into 2 columns - field descriptions and regex
- Kate will take a pass at the table
- Bill will verify the regexes (e.g. no spaces allowed)
- Move into spec
2.1 Spec¶
- Kate will document spec
- Review bugs - next week - request for homework - review your bugs prior
- Will move to a new syntax for the SPDX spec on Git using AsciiDoc
- Will generate HTML and PDF
- Can move the tools over to GitHub as well
- Supports translations
- Same process used by Git Documentation
RDF terms inconsistencies in the relationship types¶
- Yev will make sure there is a bug
RDF terms documentation not in Spec¶
- Cardinality of disjunctive and conjunctive license terms
- Already in spec based on the definition of license expression
- Proposal to add the RDF examples or information to the license expression section
- Alternative proposal - a separate section that describes the relationship between RDF and the expression syntax
- Use of NONE and NOASSERTION
- Disagreement on whether NONE or NOASSERTION can be used in an expression
- Mark will follow-up on a presentation on license expressions - May 10 meeting
- Request for real examples where NONE and NOASSERTION can be found in an expression
