SPDX (Software Package Data Exchange)

SPDX, or Software Package Data Exchange, is an open standard that helps organizations share information about software packages. It provides a way to convey details like licenses, copyrights, and associated files in a consistent format. This makes it easier for developers, businesses, and legal teams to understand the components of software they are using, including any legal obligations or restrictions. By using SPDX, companies can improve collaboration, ensure compliance with open-source licenses, and streamline software management processes. Essentially, it’s a standardized way to share important information about software to promote transparency and efficiency.
