Hi Team, I have updated the SPDX License List exceptions spreadsheet at https://docs.google.com/a/nexb.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmVnI0dGKEo1dDF0ajVveUtRMGFseVVjWS1zV2tCNFE&usp=sharing#gid=0
with material taken from Tom Vidal's list of GPL exceptions at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AjgLI2c9YWGYdG9heHY4eHNzY3JXLWpIMXZmQXBFMlE&usp=sharing I took the liberty of updating Tom's spreadsheet with some notes to indicate what actions I took or what concerns I encountered. Here is an overall comment that emerges from looking at a bunch of these things: License "exceptions" that specify lists, frequently long lists, of other associated and/or eligible licenses are not necessarily all that well-defined and i'm not sure that they belong on the list of standard SPDX license exceptions. In one case (Aptana) the text is reasonably manageable, but most license exceptions of this sort (where the exception name often contains "FOSS" or "FLOSS") make me a little nervous about whether these lists of licenses and/or components might be subject to too much change over time. So I'm going to suggest a guideline that we leave these out. I left the Aptana and DigiRule exceptions in the list as examples for discussion purposes. Just one of the many little things we need to work out! Looking forward to our next Legal Group meeting on Thursday, 05/29/2014. Regards, Dennis Clark nexB inc.
