Since the authors seem to be in the email thread, may I please ask for a version number to the exception(s) ? Experience has shown that texts change and I’d rather avoid the case of W3C, W3C-19980720, W3C-20150513, etc.
In SPDX names, I think we always use the singular “-exception”, even if the text contains more than one (FLTK-exception is an example, I think). -- zvr – From: spdx-legal-boun...@lists.spdx.org [mailto:spdx-legal-boun...@lists.spdx.org] On Behalf Of J Lovejoy Sent: Tuesday, 12 December, 2017 02:59 To: SPDX-legal <spdx-legal@lists.spdx.org> Cc: clatt...@llvm.org; Heather Meeker <hmee...@omm.com>; arnaud.degrandmai...@arm.com Subject: New Exception Request: Hi All, I’ve been meaning to send this for review, so hopefully I can make it under the line for the next release. LLVM has been working on a re-licensing project for some time now. They have decided upon Apache-2.0 with a special exception to avoid obligations when redistributing complied code (a la GCC exception) and to avoid the Apache-2.0 - GPL-2.0 incompatibility issue. I don’t think I have to explain what LLVM is here or its importance. While this is a somewhat pre-emptive request, I think it’s important to provide LLVM with the full availability of using SPDX identifiers by adding this exception. URL to text: http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2017-August/116266.html (LLVM website to be updated) Text of exception: ---- LLVM Exceptions to the Apache 2.0 License ---- As an exception, if, as a result of your compiling your source code, portions of this Software are embedded into an Object form of such source code, you may redistribute such embedded portions in such Object form without complying with the conditions of Sections 4(a), 4(b) and 4(d) of the License. In addition, if you combine or link compiled forms of this Software with software that is licensed under the GPLv2 ("Combined Software") and if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the patent provision (Section 3), the indemnity provision (Section 9) or other Section of the License conflicts with the conditions of the GPLv2, you may retroactively and prospectively choose to deem waived or otherwise exclude such Section(s) of the License, but only in their entirety and only with respect to the Combined Software.
