Hello Klaus, There is some work the FOSSology-SPDX group needs to work out to be compatible with FOSSology 2.6.1. One problem is that the SPDX plugin was done as a student project and isn’t a high priority for the University where it was done. This is the reason we never integrated the SPDX plugin module into the main FOSSology source tree (now on github).
We’ve been hearing about this issue from our users so we know you are not alone. Unfortunately, before this we had no idea who was using the SPDX plugin so we didn’t know how important it was (and is). I’ve been talking with our great friends at Siemens and TNGTech who are interested in fixing (or rewriting) the SPDX module and putting it into our master git repository. I can’t tell you when this will be resolved but it has our attention. I do expect it to be resolved in 2.7.0 but maybe we can get it out earlier in a point release. I would like to give a huge thank you to Siemens for becoming an integral member of the FOSSology project.
