License of SPDX license list data itself

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

I'm currently working on packaging cargo-deny, and it includes (a very
old version) of a compressed form of the SPDX license data from
https://github.com/spdx/license-list-data.

The package needs the SPDX license-list-data in a format that can be
read by "askalono", and it is used to match unknown license files with
licenses known to SPDX. I was able to include a new version of that
data by rebuilding that compressed blob from the SPDX
license-list-data on GitHub.

However, I could not determine under which license terms this data is
made available. The repository for spdx/license-list-data only states
that all contents are automatically generated from
https://github.com/spdx/license-list-XML, which itself specifies no
license for the data, either.

I assume this data is redistributable *somehow*? The documentation
explains how to *use* the data for various purposes, but not which
license (if any) applies to it.

Note that the existing askalono-cli package also bundles this data,
which seems to have been missed during the original package review. I
will apply any necessary changes both to cargo-deny (which is still
being reviewed) and askalono-cli.

Fabio
