Colleagues

A couple of questions on files specified in a SPDX File item.

According to the SPDX spec, the filename for a SPDX file is a relative filename 
(prefixed by ./). - see 
https://spdx.github.io/spdx-spec/v2.3/file-information/#81-file-name-field. 
However providing a relative path doesn't help identify the source of the 
actual location of the file. Where should the absolute path be specified (I 
think we just need the root)? I have thought about putting the file path as a 
FileComment but that is probably abusing the purpose of this field.

Are we assuming that ALL files in SBOM are within the same file tree? I have 
assumed that if I encounter a link in the tree, I would use the actual file 
location rather than it's link but this is likely to be in another part of the 
directory tree. If this is the case, would that mean we would have to create a 
sep[arate SBOM for files in a different part of the directory tree?

Regards

Anthony
