Hi all Providing the license list in multiple formats will help to promote its usage. JSON became very popular during the last few years. I would say it's the most popular data exchange format for the web and related programming languages.
So from my perspective: +1 Best! -roger From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Gary O'Neall Sent: Freitag, 23.

This would satisfy a need to easily extract license text and other fields from the listed licenses. We currently have that ability with RDFa, but the tools to support RDFa are not nearly as pervasive as tools that support the JSON format. If we implement the proposal, there would be one additional file generated for each SPDX license in the form of [license-id].json. The internal format would be JSON (see http://www.json.org/) where the name (or tag) would be the same tags we use for the RDFa format. There would be no change to how we maintain the license list (all the changes are just in the tool, not the process). If anyone has any questions, suggestions, concerns, or objections, please reply before next Friday (10/30/2015).
