Hi Thanh,

 

This looks like something that should be added to the EPL-1.0 license 
standardLicenseTemplate.

 

We are just changing over how we maintain the SPDX license list.  Within a 
week, we should be switched over to a repository of XML files which contain the 
license text and the standard license template text text.  We are right in the 
middle of adding the CONTRIBUTING.md file to describe the best way to request 
and contribute updates to the license list (such as adding a template to an 
existing license). 

 

The license repo is at https://github.com/spdx/license-list-XML - I would check 
this in about a week for updated information on requesting updates.

 

NOTE: this repository is the input files for creating the license list data.  
The format is subject to change, so I would recommend using the output files in 
the license-list-data repository with any tools you develop. 

 

Gary

Subject: [spdx-tech] standardLicenseHeader for EPL-1.0

 

Hi Everyone,

 

I am developing a license header scanner in order to quickly scan local files 
for license headers at the top of code files. I intend to add SPDX Header 
scanning support but have noticed that the EPL-1.0 is missing the recommended 
header text which based on my reading here [0] should be where such things are 
defined.

 

The other options available licenseText and standardLicenseTemplate seems to 
have the full license header rather than what's recommended by the Eclipse 
project to include a short header message [1] in code files.

 

How can we get this included in SPDX and is standardLicenseHeader the right 
field or am I misunderstanding it's usage here?

 

Thanks,

Thanh
