Software Package Data Exchange

Software Package Data Exchange — SPDX seems to have made licensing more complex with this explosion of other licenses that I didn’t know existed. Software Data Package Exchange, aka, SPDX has all known links to research and reference for links that I got from sdpx.dev/.

Assessment of Software Package Data Exchange Licenses

The following licenses from the Software Package Data Exchange are those that are OSI approved that mandate reciprocal source code sharing.

SPDX License List / Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX).

I went through the list of licenses listed on: SPDX License List / Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) and reviewed the licenses that have OSI marked as Y since OSI is an international standards organization. The usual IANAL6 applies to my assessment. I chose those licenses where, in my opinion, the entity modifying the source must reciprocate and publish their source code modifications.
