Software Package Data Exchange
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. SPDX (Software Package Data Exchange[1]) is a file format used to document information on the software licenses under which a given piece of computer software is distributed. SPDX is authored by the SPDX Working Group, which represents more than twenty different organizations, under the auspices of the Linux Foundation.[2]
SPDX attempts to standardize the way in which organizations publish their metadata on software licenses and components in bills of material.[3]
SPDX describes the exact terms under which a piece of software is licensed. It does not attempt to categorize licenses by type, for instance by describing licenses with similar terms to the BSD License as "BSD-like".[1]
