Hi Gary (and everyone),
In regards to this message:
Below is a summary of the changes:
- 41 fields are unchanged from SPDX 1.2
- 17 fields are new
- 9 potential incompatible fields
Thanks for sharing the excel list.
From the excel list I see the DataLicense field proposed to be
deprecated or that we use LicenseDeclared in alternative.
From what I understood, the LicenseDeclared field applies to the
software being listed but not the rights over SPDX document itself like
DataLicense.
In the EU exists the sui-generis database rights (likely not yet not
available in the US), which protects a person's right to share a
collection of SPDX documents with a legal instrument to prevent
competing sites from simply crawling/copying the information available
to public and then re-brand as their own without permission.
The CC-BY-4.0 [2] license reflects the sui-generis rights and I've been
using this license on SPDX documents [3] to ensure they can be shared
with public. I'm using the DataLicense field to express the license
terms for the SPDX document itself.
Just wanted to share some feedback. Thanks for the consideration.
With kind regards,
Nuno Brito
