I'm -1 on incorporating this into the spec, at least as far as it goes for defining [the syntax of valid SPDX license expressions](https://github.com/spdx/spdx-spec/blob/development/v2.3/chapters/SPDX-license-expressions.md). _Syntactically_, the license expression grammar should...

Thanks @vargenau, apologies that I hadn't understood your proposal when I responded earlier. I think the question is partly who is making the determination. For both the FSF and the...

For DOCUMENT_ROOT_OF, is that different from the existing DESCRIBES relationship? I had thought that was the purpose of DESCRIBES (I could be entirely wrong) :) For DEPENDENCY_ROOT_OF, can you provide...

Hi @pseudoyim, it's a great question and unfortunately I don't have an answer for you on a prescribed approach here. For the [SPDX Golang tools](https://github.com/spdx/tools-golang), when analyzing a package's files...

Thanks for replying on this thread, @pseudoyim! I'd forgotten we started this discussion :) This is timely as I just realized this morning that the Golang tools _might_ be handling...

I'd agree. My only question, if we're reopening it, is whether it would be more useful / easier to adopt to represent it as integers -- rather than as a...

> P.S. if we like to avoid string parsing should we have at simplifying [creators](https://github.com/spdx/spdx-spec/blob/development/v2.2.1/examples/SPDXYAMLExample-2.2.spdx.yaml#L10-L13)? +1 from me :) ``` "creators": [ {"type": "Tool", "value": "LicenseFind-1.0"}, ... ] ``` ?
