This would make a good topic for any upcoming Docfests. The Java tools do not check for Symlinks when [calculating the verification code](https://github.com/spdx/Spdx-Java-Library/blob/ff23ac2a787839d7f486bc6ec939ab77b6baeafc/src/main/java/org/spdx/utility/verificationcode/VerificationCodeGenerator.java#L158), so it likely includes them. Like @swinslow...
Propose using `comment`. Shorter, more consistent with other JSON classes as well as consistent with the RDF.
Since fixing this will break something, proposing we address this in SPDX 3.0.
There is a proposal to simplify this in version 3.0 of SPDX. So for, no one has objected to simplifying. The general syntax is fine with me, but I would...
BTW - the reason for the rather complex syntax in RDF is we wanted to implement an existing [W3C draft standard for pointers](https://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/Pointers/WD-Pointers-20080623).
I don't believe there was an intent to redefine any of these terms. This is likely an error in the OWL file which include references to those terms. @rivettp Could...
Since resolving this would break some of the SPDX 2.X tooling, I'm moving this issue to 3.0.
The snippet format is overly complex in my opinion and perhaps it should be simplified in 3.0. Having the reference is redundant and really increases the complexity. I like @swinslow...
> P.S. if we like to avoid string parsing should we have at simplifying creators? +1 for me too. Probably a 3.0 enhancement since it is a but more structural....
Moving to 2.3
