To confirm, you’re asking to fork the project to SPDX?
[G.O.] correct – in addition, I can ask Github to remove the fork reference so
that future contributors come to SPDX rather than the, no longer maintained,
upstream version
I’ve no objection to that as such; sounds like they’ve turned their back on it,
after all, and that we have a use for it.
As long as a part of the forking process is notifying them (in advance) that
SPDX is going to take over maintenance and where to find the new project, along
with asking them to post a notice to that effect on their end (which they may
or may not do), then I’m a +1.
[G.O.] Agreed – I also added a credit section in the README giving credit to
the good work @wking has done in getting the initial scripts written.

Per our previous discussion in the SPDX tech team, I would like to see if
anyone has an objection to moving a utility to the SPDX repo that generates the
FSF isLibre flag for the license list: fsf-api
<https://apc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fspdx%2Ffsf-api&data=04%7C01%7Cvm.brasseur%40wipro.com%7Cf795ec25a36d4b6ef15c08d972f1c334%7C258ac4e4146a411e9dc879a9e12fd6da%7C1%7C0%7C637667204972741762%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=07lvcFpKbMSAfeA0CIiY0O477l9Yhp5av4Gf11T1cds%3D&reserved=0>
.
The utility generates FSF specific metadata.
The utility was written more than a couple years ago by @wking and is no longer
maintained. We’ve tried unsuccessfully to get FSF to pick up ownership of the
utility (or something similar). I have a 2 year old issue against the
LicenseListPublisher that depends on a fix I submitted as a PR about the same
time. Since it has not been merged and I really would like the license list to
have accurate data, I moved the repo over and merged the PR to resolve the
issue.
Please let me know if you have any concerns. If I don’t hear anything back by
Monday, I’ll complete the transfer of the repo over to SPDX.
Thanks,
Gary
