Hello spdx-legal and spdx-tech teams, As you may be aware, all SPDX specification versions since 1.1 have required that SPDX documents have a “DataLicense” value of CC0-1.0. Details about this in the latest-released spec are available at [1] and additional background about the SPDX community’s past decisions is available at [2].
Ria Schalnat has put together a draft Change Proposal at [3] proposing that future versions of the SPDX specification remove the requirement that SPDX documents and data be licensed under CC0-1.0. Further discussion and a variety of opinions are available in the discussion thread in that issue. To move the discussion forward, we would like to invite interested participants from the SPDX legal team and tech team communities to discuss this Change Proposal at the next regularly scheduled Legal Team call, on Thursday, July 27th, at 12:00 noon Eastern US time. Meeting information is available at [4]. For anyone who plans to attend and participate in the discussion, I would ask that you please read [1], [2] and [3] prior to the call to familiarize yourself with the details of the present state and the proposed changes. Please also feel free to weigh in with your own thoughts in the thread at [3] prior to the meeting. Best, Steve [1] https://spdx.github.io/spdx-spec/v2.3/document-creation-information/#62-data-license-field [2] https://wiki.spdx.org/images/SPDX-TR-2014-1.v1.1.pdf [3] https://github.com/spdx/change-proposal/issues/8 [4] https://github.com/spdx/meetings/tree/main#legal-team-meetings -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
