Fedora License List Review
SPDX Legal:The Google doc tracking sheet has been updated with today's discussions: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmVnI0dGKEo1dENVVHFNeG5hQjAyYjQ3bm1VVUdjOFE#gid=1The next 8 licenses for review are highlighted in green, beginning on line 28 of the above-linked list. Lines 34-38 are BSD-style licenses, some of which are very similar to existing licenses on the SPDX List. We will need to determine whether these are distinct licenses, and how to address the short identifiers.Thanks!Zak WhiteEntente Software LLC570 El Camino Real #150-103Redwood City, CA 94065Phone: (650) 489-6851zwh...@ententesoftware.com ___ Spdx-legal mailing list Spdx-legal@lists.spdx.org https://lists.spdx.org/mailman/listinfo/spdx-legal
Re: Fedora license list review
I added some notes as well, but I think I colored outside the green lines… :) I also added a column regarding the short identifiers to indicate when they are different from Fedora's. This is a key part of this task; that is, to track where they are different (which is inevitable) so that some kind of "equivalency" or "translation" document can be created.
