skissane / unicode-cldr-json-license-metadata-issue.txt

Created April 18, 2018 15:48

Analysis of an issue with CLDR JSON license metadata

	In the Unicode CLDR repositories https://github.com/unicode-cldr

	the package.json and bower.json don't declare the software license using proper
	SPDX syntax.

	This is causing some problems with the WebJars system –
	https://www.webjars.org/ – which demands a valid open source license be
	declared. (WebJars uses BinTray, and BinTray only allows open source artifacts
	to be posted without paying.)
