Hi Nuno, Gary, Philippe, and Sam, This is really great information. We did not have time to discuss on the call today, as the focus was on items for the v2.2 release of the license list, but I’d like to capture this info in the wiki page, so it doesn’t get lost, etc.
Could you each add a section with your comments to this page? http://wiki.spdx.org/view/Legal_Team/Templatizing I created a new section for just this purpose. If you are unable to edit the wiki page, let me know. Thanks, Jilayne SPDX Legal Team co-lead [email protected] > On Sep 17, 2015, at 3:22 AM, Nuno Brito <[email protected]> wrote: > > > 3) License matching templates/markup: > > > > We have a task to add markup to some of the standard headers and have > > also had input to add/edit markup on existing licenses.
