The July SPDX General Meeting is happening this Thursday, July 13th. We have a great presentation lined up:
Fedora's Adoption of SPDX License Expressions Just shy of a year ago, Fedora adopted the use of SPDX license expressions in its package metadata. This also coincided with updating all licensing documentation and processes for Fedora. See https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/important-changes-to-software-license-information-in-fedora-packages-spdx-and-more/ This talk will explore insights how the project planned a migration from an existing homegrown license identification system to SPDX and what this means for package maintainers.
