Hi all,

As announced in the release, https://github.com/fossology/fossology/wiki/FOSSology-3.1-Release-Announcement-(Working-Version)

Key features in FOSSology 3.1 are:
Support for SPDX 2.1 document formats(tag:value format now available as well as RDF)

I have tried the fossology installation in the ways of docker as well as from source.
From the template (Only package/ document/file information) at https://github.com/fossology/fossology/tree/master/src/spdx2/agent/template, we could not generate SPDX 2.1 FULL features at https://spdx.org/spdx-specification-21-web-version

Is there any plans to use ALL features of SPDX 2.1 specification in future releases?
Thank you.

Regards,
Thuy Tran.

Hello,

currently, I am not aware of the FOSSology project planning to support "ALL features of SPDX 2.1 specification in future releases", for a number of reasons, just a few examples:

* Spec 2.1 supports identification of code snippets (See section 5), currently fossology does not support it and I am not aware of plans by someone to contribute it
* Spec 2.1 support for example besides the copyright statement also a file contributor, which could be taken, maybe, from some SCM information. I am not aware of plans here neither
* ...

and so forth. I think FOSSology will support only parts of the SPDX 2.1 spec as they are covered by the application functionality.

I am not sure of that answer covers your question? The fact that you have used bold types letters in your e-mail provides a slight impression that you expect something in particular from the FOSSology project?

Maybe the following two issues provide also helpful information to you?

https://github.com/fossology/fossology/issues/1309
https://github.com/spdx/spdx-spec/issues/112

Please do not hesitate to clarify what you intended to say about our release notes or our idea of SPDX 2.1 document generation.

Kind regards, Michael
