-  * Contract Terms +  * Contract Terms, applied as-needed:​ 
-  * Requiring deliverables+    * Specify acceptable licensing 
 +      * variations by situation/​use 
 +        * approaches ranging from conservative to more realistic:​ 
 +          * representation that no Open Source is included 
 +          * exclude certain Open Source 
 +    * Request a list of license information,​ as a deliverable 
 +      * this might also be addressed less formally 
 +      * often this is informal 
 +      * Warrant that the list of license information is complete 
 +    * Request information needed for license compliance 
 +      * Warranty of license compliance 
 + 
 +  * Know the supplier 
 +    * Case-by-case scanning of source code for licenses 
 +    * Reputation/​relationship 
 + 
 +*Explaining to developers, managers, and suppliers what their obligations are and what we need from them because many still don't have a clue -- especially some of the smaller vendors and entry level software developers. ​
  
 ==== What do you want to have? ==== ==== What do you want to have? ====
-  * add items here+  * Improved license information deliverables 
 +    * Easily processed to confirm compatibility:​ 
 +      * Mutually-compatible,​ as a set 
 +      * Policy-compatible,​ suitable to the business/​project goals 
 +    * Standard format for reporting license info (SPDX) 
 +      * Broadly and well supported (use, tools, knowledge-base,​ advancing) 
 + 
 +  * Accepted and well understood practices around compliance 
 + 
 +  * Trust the upstream chain 
 +    * Minimized need for [redundant] license scanning/​review 
 +    * Accepted industry practices in-use 
 +      * Efficient means to satisfy source code availability requirements 
 +      * Less critical: upstream contributions,​ not required for trust 
 +    * Accepted set of "​baseline knowledge"​ commonly known 
 + 
 +*Better training for open source in general and suppliers/​developers specifically. ​ It should be concise and easily consumable (e.g. online) with perhaps some questions or interactive Q&A to test understanding. ​  There are a lot of good resources out their already (e.g. great webinars produced by many in this group, LF materials, other materials under CC license or other permissive licenses). ​  We should endeavor to pull the best and create a set of training that we can all leverage for companies to use for internal training and to provide to their suppliers.
