Dear Sir or Madam, I am working for the AUTOSAR association as one of the FOSS responsibles. I am investigating about Fossology and SPDX. In that context I would like to get into contact with you.
· We want to use e.g. Fossology as the tool for analyzing the FOSS licenses and then exporting it as SPDX file. This is then transferred to a team dealing with license issues. Do we get a list of all FOSS licenses? Does it mean that all these licenses are known in SPDX. Is there a mapping of license information happening? · What happens if some parts of the wording in the license are changed. Is the deviation not recognized, is it highlighted or listed as an unclassified license? · Where does the list of licenses that is used in Fossology come from. In the Fossology documentation the NOMOS list is mentioned (http://archive15.fossology.org/attachments/3963/license_list_2.6.0.txt) Where has the list it origin? And does it go in accordance with the license list of SPDX? Deviation between SPDX and NOMOS · What happens if Fossology finds an unknown list or a commercial license (http://archive15.fossology.org/projects/fossology/wiki/Detection_of_Unclassified_licenses). Are they all classified as unclassified licenses? What happens if the license body is missing or if no license description exists for a file? And is this information about commercial licenses, not known licenses, ... transferred in the SPDX file in case of an export? · Quite often I have seen that NOMOS is mentioned. I can't find detailed information about NOMOS. What is NOMOS? We would like to continue a discussion based on the questions above. Could you please tell me who will be our contact person.
