Hello,

currently, I am not aware of the FOSSology project planning to support "ALL 
features of SPDX 2.1 specification in future releases", for a number of 
reasons, just a few examples:

* Spec 2.1 supports identification of code snippets (See section 5), currently 
fossology does not support it and I am not aware of plans by someone to 
contribute it
* Spec 2.1 support for example besides the copyright statement also a file 
contributor, which could be taken, maybe, from some SCM information. I am not 
aware of plans here neither
* ...

and so forth. I think FOSSology will support only parts of the SPDX 2.1 spec as 
they are covered by the application functionality.

I am not sure of that answer covers your question? The fact that you have used 
bold types letters in your e-mail provides a slight impression that you expect 
something in particular from the FOSSology project?

Maybe the following two issues provide also helpful information to you?

https://github.com/fossology/fossology/issues/1309
https://github.com/spdx/spdx-spec/issues/112

Please do not hesitate to clarify what you intended to say about our release 
notes or our idea of SPDX 2.1 document generation.

Kind regards, Michael
