[Cross-post with SPDXTech List]

Hi everyone,

A note that the University of Nebraska at Omaha public instances of

FOSSology: https://fossology.ist.unomaha.edu/

and

FOSSology+SPDX: https://fossologyspdx.ist.unomaha.edu/

are now running FOSSology2.5.

Additionally, SPDX1.2 is now supported on FOSSology+SPDX. Specific changes
include:

1) Creation Information
License List Version: An optional field for creators of SPDX documents to
provide the version of the SPDX License List used when the SPDX file was
created. The new field has been added in SPDX Edit page with default value
1.19, which is the latest version SPDX license list.

2) Package Information
Package Home Page: This field provides a place for the SPDX document
creator to record a web site that serves as the package's home page. This
link can also be used to reference further information about the package
referenced by the SPDX file creator. Package Home Page has been added to
Package Info page with default null value.

3) File Information
File Notice: This field provides a place for the SPDX document creator to
record legal notices potentially found in the file. This may or may not
include copyright statements. File Notice has been added to SPDX File Edit
List page with default null value.

File Contributor: This field provides a place for the SPDX file creator to
record file contributors. Contributors could include names of copyright
holders and/or authors who may not be copyright holders, yet contributed to
the file content. File Contributor has been added to SPDX File Edit List
page with default null value.

File Dependencies: This field provides a place for the SPDX document
creator to record a list of other files (referenceable within this SPDX
file) that the file is a derivative of and/or depends on for the build
(e.g., source file or build script for a binary program or library). The
list of files may not necessarily represent the list of all file
dependencies, but possibly the ones that impact the licensing and/or maybe
needed as part of the file distribution obligation. File Dependencies has
been added to SPDX File Edit List page with default null value.

If you have any questions or comments, we are happy to chat.

Regards,
Matt Germonprez
