<div>We'll get you some examples and some more detail, but the main idea is to support matching (for both humans and programs). The idea is to do as much as we can with the general guidelines, but to mark up where need be (as in my BSD copyright text example). </div>

We are in the process of updating the text files with markup to implement the license matching guidelines located here:
<a href="http://spdx.org/spdx-license-list/matching-guidelines" target="_blank">http://spdx.org/spdx-license-list/matching-guidelines</a> - the goal being to provide a way to ensure that when one SPDX user identifies a license, it is reliably the same as when
another SPDX user identifies the same license. Of course, the main example of this is the BSD 3 and 4 clause licenses and Apache 1.1, which may include the names of the specific copyright holder even though the rest of the license is exactly the same (goal
being to avoid concluding every BSD-3-Clause with a different copyright holder name gets identified as a different license.)</blockquote>

<div class="gmail_extra">Hi, Jilayne, Phil-<br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">What is the intended markup here? The matching guidelines seem useful, but it isn't clear to me what a license marked up that way would look like. Is there an example somewhere?<br>
