published under the ASF 2.0 and do we have proper protection there ? I
seriously doubt either of the two statements are true:

a) I think we do not have any way to put any licence attached to VEX we
publish - until we have some ways that we can attach a licence they are
published "as is"
b) I think Apache 2.0 licence does not cover responsibility for 3rd-party
vulnerabilities that we might assume by publishing VEX

At least in CycloneDX, there is an option for that[1]. The `$.metadata.licenses` element is described as:

    The license information for the BOM document.
    This may be different from the license(s) of the component(s) that the BOM describes.

So the question is: what license should we put here?

Thank you for helping me better classify the problem. I have opened:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-698

to ask LEGAL about the best license for CycloneDX documents.

Piotr
