What is the license of the openchain comformance specification 1.0 ?


Tomo Dote
 

I want to translate the specification into Japanese.
But I could not find the license of the specification.
Please tell me the license of that.

All I know is about the license of it is the FAQ page said "you can copy ...".

thanks

Hi,

 

>> I want to translate the specification into Japanese.

 

This would be wonderful.

 

>> Please tell me the license of that.

 

A missing license statement from the spec was realized and very briefly discussed at the recent Berlin F2F meeting. Some initially thought it was CCO while others suggested it might be more appropriate to use the same license as the SPDX spec which is under the  CC BY 3.0 - Creative Commons Attribution License 3.0 Unported. This topic was queued for discussion. Given your expressed interest in translating the spec, I will raise the priority and see if we can make good progress on this topic at our next meeting.

 

Best,

Mark

According to the standard LF’s ToS <https://www.linuxfoundation.org/terms>
that the website seems to be under:

“Except as otherwise provided, Content on this site, including all materials

Attribution 3.0 License.”

As the specification’s PDF doesn’t seem to mention any other licence I’d say
it’s under CC-By 3.0.

I’d be very happy to be corrected by people who are much more involved than I.


cheers,
Matija

Should it not be updated to CC-BY 4.0?

(BTW, Kudos to all for advancing this to v1.0, and apologies for going from active participant at the beginning to just a quiet observer due to workload. Wonderful to see it's now an industry reference.)

Thank you Matija and Joseph for your input on the spec licensing. We will discuss it at the next working meeting  on November 7 @ 9am Pacific Standard Time (PST). All are welcome. After having a discussion and obtaining guidance from the Linux Foundation we will present the license choice and the rationale to this group.

 

How to Participate: For those new to the OpenChain project we meet on the first and third Monday of each month. On the first Monday we meet at 9am PST to accommodate EMEA (Europe, the Middle East and Africa) and discuss the spec and spec conformance. For the third Monday we meet at 5pm PST to accommodate Asia and discuss the spec and curriculum.

 

Best,

- Mark
