Hi All, As discussed on today’s call, all agreed that some clarification or revision of the explanatory text at the top of the license exceptions page was warranted. (see current first paragraph here: https://spdx.org/licenses/exceptions-index.html <https://spdx.org/licenses/exceptions-index.html> )
Bradley was kind enough to get the ball rolling and we batted it around a bit and came up with the following. I think this captures the concepts we were discussing on the call. It could possibly be made a bit more concise, but it’s always easier to start with more and trim down! The SPDX License List includes a list of commonly found exceptions to open source licenses. Exceptions grant additional permissions beyond those already given in the license that the exception modifies. These exceptions are not stand-alone licenses; rather, they are designed for use with the License Expression Syntax operator, "WITH", to identify a license that includes an additional permission beyond those in the main license. Thought, input, word-smithing? Thanks, Jilayne SPDX Legal Team co-lead opensou...@jilayne.com
