SPDX

SPDX (Software Package Data Exchange) is a standard format used to clearly document the licensing, security, and attribution details of software components. It helps developers, organizations, and legal teams understand the licensing conditions of open-source and proprietary software to ensure compliance, manage risks, and facilitate sharing. By providing a common language and structure, SPDX makes it easier to track and verify the legal status of various software parts, especially in complex projects with many dependencies. Overall, it promotes transparency and consistency in how software licenses are identified and managed across different teams and tools.
