Hi everyone,

Below is a draft that Scott Rose and I have co-authored.  Its purpose is to 
help deployments identify software bills of materials (SBOMs) when they are 
available.  An SBOM is a software inventory that includes some additional 
meta-information, such as what dependencies a component may have.  The idea 
behind SBOMs is that they can provide licensing status to developers, and some 
notion of vulnerability status to everyone (and I mean everyone).

MUD is ideal as a discovery mechanism.  The goal is not to create new ways to 
retrieve the information, but simply to advertise what ways are available for a 
given device.
