SPDX: Debunking the myths and misunderstandings
FOSDEM 2015

The SPDX specification is a standard format for communicating the components, licenses, and copyrights associated with a software package. Despite that relatively simple explanation, myths and misunderstandings seem to abound as to what SPDX does and does not do; whom benefits from SPDX and how; and more. This talk will address some of the commonly heard myths and misunderstandings.

This talk will also describe the key changes accompanying the upcoming official release of SPDX 2.0.

Speakers: Jilayne Lovejoy
