Greetings all - 

I would like to add a mechanism for representing listed licenses that have
been marked as deprecated in the JSON and RDFa formats for licenses on the
spdx.org/licenses website.

 

My proposal is to add a property "spdx:deprecated" in the RDFa and just
"deprecated" in the JSON with a boolean value of true or false.  It would be
treated as optional with a default value of false.

 

This should be backwards compatible since it is an addition of an optional
field.

 

Two questions - any objections to this proposal?

- where should we document this? We could add it in the Other License
Information section (currently number 5), although, I think it would only
logically apply to the listed license.  We do not have a separate section
for Other Licensing information".

 

Let me know what you think and if you would like to add it to one of the
future tech calls to discuss.


Thanks,

Gary
