Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX)

Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) is a standardized way for organizations to share detailed information about their software components, including licensing, permissions, and restrictions. It creates a common language and format for documenting software details, helping companies comply with legal requirements, manage open-source usage, and ensure transparency. Think of SPDX as a detailed invoice or report that clearly outlines what a software package contains and how it can be used, making it easier for developers, businesses, and legal teams to understand and manage software licenses efficiently.
