Bug #: 1291
Summary: SPDXTools does not accept exceptions in
PackageLicenseInfoFromFiles tag.
Product: SPDX
Version: 2.0
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Pretty Printer
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
When converting an SPDX tag file to rdf using SPDXTools then an error is
produced if the PackageLicenseInfoFromFiles tag contains the name of a license
exception. The SPDX specification says that this tag captures all the license
types, but without the use of expressions. My interpretation of this is that an
expression such as GPL-3.0 WITH Classpath-exception-2.0 must be represented by
two separate instances of this tag, for example:
PackageLicenseInfoFromFiles: GPL-3.0
PackageLicenseInfoFromFiles: Classpath-exception-2.0
Therefore I think the SPDXTools ought to accept exceptions for this tag.
I have attached this case as an example, which can be run with:
> java -jar spdx-tools-2.0.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar TagToRDF exception.tag
> exception.rdf
The following verifications failed for the SpdxDocument:
Invalid license id 'Classpath-exception-2.0'. Must start with
'LicenseRef-' and made up of the characters from the set 'a'-'z', 'A'-'Z',
'0'-'9', '+', '_', '.', and '-'.
Missing required license text for Classpath-exception-2.0
