License list version is still not SemVer

Open JPEWdev opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

The License List version is still not SemVer compatible (e.g. 3.23, not 3.23.0)

Since this wasn't fixed before the 3.0 release, I suggest relaxing the requirement that it be a SemVer in licenseListVersion for 3.0.1

The Legal team was waiting the freeze/publication of 3.0.0 in order to change their public numbering.

Let's keep it in our spec -- and maybe document that earlier versions X.Y should be represented as X.Y.0.

With the v3.24.0 release of the License List, we've now switched to SemVer.

@JPEWdev @zvr Any further changes needed here from your perspective?

Based on https://github.com/spdx/spdx-3-model/blob/main/model/SimpleLicensing/Properties/licenseListVersion.md and https://github.com/spdx/spdx-3-model/blob/main/model/SimpleLicensing/Classes/LicenseExpression.md I think the spec documents the License List version as SemVer. So together with the v3.24.0 release from May, are we good to close this?

I think we're good to close this issue IMO - there is a related issue in the license list publisher to solve a compatibility issue created by our changes here.

@swinslow - before our next release of the license list, I should fix this in the license list publisher and update the CI for the license list XML repo.
