Bug #: 1302
Summary: Apache 2.0 license text includes appendix
Product: SPDX
Version: 2.0
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Licenses
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
I've been working on a node.js module to match license files by applying the
matching guidelines on the spdx website, but some licenses fail due to the data
content included in the license list.
The appendix to the Apache 2.0 license contains "how to apply the Apache
License to your work"; this section is not included in many projects that
include the Apache 2.0 license itself, nor is the content of its instructions
listed in the SPDX license database as valid content for the Apache 2.0
license.
It would be nice if any of the following happened:
- Remove appendix entirely, so that the text content of the license in the SPDX
database matches valid licenses in the wild
- Surround the appendix with the optional meta tags
- Add an entry for the "abbreviated" Apache 2.0 license as shown in the
appendix
