Hello,
There's one package that I need to create as a dependency of
puppet-development-kit for which I had some questions pop to mind about
licensing: ruby-spdx-licenses
The code ships a json file that contains information about all of the
licenses that the library helps with identifying. This json file was
copied from the SPDX web site:
https://github.com/domcleal/spdx-licenses#spdx-licenses
From what I could gather, the website specifies that all content is
covered by CC-BY 3.0:
https://spdx.org/Trademark
https://www.linuxfoundation.org/terms/
Then, I also found some mentions about some terms related to the use of
the SPDX name, which would be present in the package name and in the
description, and this is where I feel like I'm in uncertain waters (at
least for me):
https://spdx.org/frequently-asked-questions-faq-0
"Can I use the SPDX trademark?
Yes. It is a registered trademark so don't forget the (r)."
Do I need to add (r) after the name "SPDX" in the description? Is it an
issue if the name is used in the package name (since it's in the name of
the gem) ?
Cheers!
