Hi Simon,

 

Welcome to the SPDX community!

 

You’ve come to the right place – your request is very appropriate for this 
mailing list.

 

I took a quick look at the document and only found one item for review.  I’m 
not 100% sure of the relationship types, but from what I can tell they look 
correct.  Others on the list may be able to do a better review of the 
relationship types.

 

In terms of the spec being freely available – yes – it will continue to be 
available for free on the SPDX website.  We intend to keep the official ISO 
published spec and the spec published on spdx.dev in sync.

 

Gary

Subject: [spdx-tech] RFC: Creating a fairly complex SPDX document for an open 
source project (Julia)

 

Hello everyone.  First time poster here, so I hope this topic is considered 
appropriate.

 

My favorite open source project is Julia (https://julialang.org).  It's build 
process pulls in a lot of code from many other repositories.  I thought that 
the project would benefit from having an SPDX document describing all these 
packages, streamlining the review and approval process at organizations that 
want to use Julia.

 

I've put together a pull request that adds an SPDX document to the repository. 
At this point it contains only a few packages to demonstrate what it looks like 
and will be filled in over time. If anyone on this list would like to provide 
feedback that would be appreciated.

On a related question since I see that SPDX just became an ISO standard. Does 
that mean that version 2.2.1 (and 3.0) of the specification will not be 
available for free at spdx.dev <http://spdx.dev> ?  Will the spdx-spec 
repository on Github remain available so that open source developers can access 
the current specification?  If all developers had to pay $200, that would be a 
significant barrier to adoption in the OSS world.

 

Thank you in advance for any feedback provided.

 

Simon Avery
