SPDX License List version 1.19 has been released!
The website pages at http://spdx.org/licenses/ has been updated and the
download of the SPDX License List can now be found here:
http://git.spdx.org/?p=license-list.git;a=summary
Here's a summary of changes over v1.18 (which is also summarized in the last
column of the spreadsheet):
- 4 new licenses:
Artistic-1.0-cl8
Artistic-1.0-Perl
IBM-pibs
SISSL-1.2
Unlicense
- 1 license removed:
Ruby --> in reviewing a newer version of Ruby License (where the notice
regarding the disjunctive license choice changed from GPLv2 or Ruby to
BSD-2-clause or Ruby) it was noticed there are also variations in the
substantive text of the license. The current situation (with how Ruby is
listed on the SPDX License List) means we have text for the older version and
link to the current version, which only adds to potential confusion/ambiguity
in that people will continue to use that short identifier perhaps incorrectly.
The SPDX Legal Team is researching the variations and communicating with Ruby
to come to an accurate way to represent the different license variations. (In
other words, Ruby License will be put back on the SPDX License List in the near
future, but in a more accurate and complete way than it had been.)
- Differences in Artistic License 1.0 variations accounted for in Notes field
- PHP-3.0 license text updated (was duplicate with PHP-3.01 previously)
- "v1.1" added to full name of SISSL (due to addition of SISSL-1.2)
- W3C - full name corrected
.odt and .xls formats of the SPDX License List spreadsheet are included in the
git repo download.
