Hi Bénédicte,
For the redistributed package, you can put your chosen license in the concluded license field. The declared license should remain as described by the originator of the package. I would also recommend that you add a license comment stating that the license was chosen for the redistribution.

Hello, As you know, a software component can have several licenses. The SPDX standard defines 2 attributes - One for the declared license - One for the concluded license When a person redistribute a package, he can choice the applicable license. For example ("caricatural" example) : A software component is under GPL or MIT. He can choice the MIT license, he has to declare the MIT licence redistribution to avoid being required to provide the source files required by the GPL v3 license. How declare in spdx files the choosen licence : MIT, whereas the "declared licence can be "GPL v3 OR MIT" (caricatiral example) ? Thank in advance for your answer, Best regards, Bénédicte -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
