Thanks Jilayne. I'm thinking of a different page, I can go looking for it, but the one I had in mind showed examples of files and had a title that was more like "How to use SPDX". I do think the info in that Appendix is important to include on the new /ids page -- in particular the part about preserving the standard header. I also wonder about warranty disclaimers? -john -- John Sullivan | Executive Director, Free Software Foundation GPG Key: A462 6CBA FF37 6039 D2D7 5544 97BA 9CE7 61A0 963B https://status.fsf.org/johns | https://fsf.org/blogs/RSS Do you use free software?
