Hi Gary,
Very good point - I agree that the data license really isn't the same
term
as concluded.
Ok, thanks for the consideration.
The relationship would be between SpdxThings and the relationship would
be a
property of SpdxThing:
Yes. This is also the manner I understood the specification and
implemented in code.
With kind regards,
Nuno Brito

The source of the issue relates to the class structure on the SPDX 2.0
model.
I am now thinking we should introduce another class to solve this (plus
a
few other issues).
All:
We could add a class which is a superclass of both SpdxElement and
SpdxDocument - let's just call it an SpdxThing for now.
The relationship would be between SpdxThings and the relationship would
be a
property of SpdxThing:
+--------------+
| SpdxThing |<-+
| --------- | |
| relationship |--+
+--------------+
|
|
+-----+-----+
| |
V V
+--------------+ +-------------+
| SpdxDocument | | SpdxElement |
| ... | | ... |
+--------------+ +-------------+
|
V
File, Package, Snippet (same
subclass structure)
Let me know what you think.
Gary

Hi Gary (and everyone),
In regards to this message:

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
