Good point and agree this would be broadly useful. This could be added as a separate URL or UI option in the web page. I would like this to be in addition to parsing the general SPDX document. If it doesn't fit into the schedule for this project, we should be able to leverage the implementation to add a license expression parser and validator.
I just created an issue in the SPDX tools to add some functionality to make this easier to implement: https://github.com/spdx/tools/issues/91 Gary From: Wheeler, David A [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, March 28, 2017 2:31 PM To: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: RE: [spdx-tech] GSoC Proposal I'd like to see an online validation tool to validate *just* license expressions. E.g., are all the licenses known? Is the expression valid (OR, AND, etc.)? Bonus points: Make it trivial to automate - Send in with a trivial URL, replies with an easily-parsed answer. I don't often need to process a whole SPDX file, but *license expressions* are absolutely valuable for my use cases. Thanks. --- David A.
