Hi Jilayne, Thanks for updating this page. In particular for adding the rationale for why tagging is important in the Introduction section. For me, the main impetus of adding the license tag is to automate the production of accurate SPDX data. To the extent that licensing headers are already included in the file I'm not a fan of replacing that with the tag - rather, I think our (the SPDX workgroup that is) recommendation or best practice should be that the tag should supplement the other licensing information. But, in the end, it is the ultimate choice of the copyright holder of the software because they will be the party implementing this should they choose to adopt.
Coming back to a higher level... What is the purpose of this page? We need to be very clear on this. In my mind it is to propose a best practice or a coding standard. Assuming folks agree with that, then why are we asking for people to propose new tags at the bottom of the page - that seems to defeat the purpose. -Scott From: spdx-biz-boun...@lists.spdx.org [mailto:spdx-biz-boun...@lists.spdx.org] On Behalf Of Jilayne Lovejoy Sent: Thursday, October 03, 2013 11:09 AM To: SPDX-legal; SPDX-biz; spdx-tech@lists.spdx.org Subject: meta-tag page I just updated the meta-tag proposal page on the Wiki in the introduction section. We had discussed on the general meeting this morning, that this was needed. Have a look and see what you think. http://wiki.spdx.org/view/Technical_Team/SPDX_Meta_Tags Jilayne Lovejoy SPDX Legal Team lead lovejoyl...@gmail.com<mailto:lovejoyl...@gmail.com>
