SPDX Specification

The SPDX (Software Package Data Exchange) Specification is a standardized format used to share information about the licenses and contents of software packages. It helps organizations communicate details about software's legal and compliance aspects, such as what licenses apply and what components are included. This transparency aids in managing software dependencies and ensuring that projects adhere to legal requirements. By using SPDX, developers and organizations can streamline the process of tracking software use and compliance across various projects and systems, fostering better collaboration and reducing legal risks.
