Hi all,
I would like to propose a property named FileAttributionText which will hold
the text that has to be reproduced.
It can be considered as a combination of information found in properties like
FileCopyrightText, LicenseInfoInFile, FileContributor, but it might not simply
the sum of these values.
The relative part in the spec could be something like:
4.xx File Attribution Text
4.xx.1 Purpose: This field provides a place for the SPDX data creator to record
all attributions found in the file that are required to be communicated. These
typically include copyright statement(s), license text, and a disclaimer.
4.xx.2 Intent: The intent is to provide the recipient of the SPDX file with all
the legally required attributions in the file, therefore complying with the
license obligations.
4.xx.3 Cardinality: Optional, one.
4.xx.4 Data Format: free form text that can (and usually will) span multiple
lines
4.xx.5 Tag: "FileAttributionText:"
In Tag:value format, the multiple lines are delimited by "<text>" and "</text>".
Example:
FileAttributionText: <text>
# Copyright (C) 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
# Written by Scott James Remnant, 2004
#
# This file is free software; the Free Software Foundation gives
# unlimited permission to copy and/or distribute it, with or without
# modifications, as long as this notice is preserved.
</text>
4.xx.6 RDF: property fileAttributionText in class spdx:File
Example:
<File rdf:about="...">
<fileAttributionText>
# Copyright (C) 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
# Written by Scott James Remnant, 2004
#
# This file is free software; the Free Software Foundation gives
# unlimited permission to copy and/or distribute it, with or without
# modifications, as long as this notice is preserved.
</fileAttributionText>
</File>

Subject: [spdx-tech] SPDX specification: gathering possible topics for next rev
Last week in the call, we started discussing some of the features
we've heard requested for the future rev of the specification.
For those interested, the working list of possible topics
can be found at:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vJqWGU02ynzrJ5CvmX1z2mBssOSpuBvuKene8jVJGNI/edit
Please feel free to add topics & areas you've seen gaps in to the list
(document is open for editing).
As soon as we get the spec up in git, we'll turn them into issues and track
them that way going forward.
Thanks, Kate
