Re: [eclipse.org-architecture-council] IP Due Diligence Process Document

[Jonah Graham <jonah@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Wayne,

I have had a read through - and for the first time I appreciated the different scores. I think the numerous scores leave lots of questions open as a "bad" overall score does not matter.

For example, a dep can have a decent license score, but a terrible described score. I am using https://clearlydefined.io/definitions/npm/npmjs/-/babel-preset-gatsby/0.5.8 as an example because it was one of the featured items on the clearly defined home page (I included a screenshot below in case the URL's data is mutable). 

In this case licensed is 75 and license is only MIT. So this is OK despite the very poor Described score?

If I understood correctly, I think the EDP should be a bit more explicit why the overall score does not matter. Also, perhaps a link to https://docs.clearlydefined.io/clearly#licensed  would help.

A related topic is that I suppose it would be nice if Eclipse's own stuff had a decent score. JDT core has a 100 described score, but 0 for license (NOASSERTION). https://clearlydefined.io/definitions/maven/mavencentral/org.eclipse.jdt/org.eclipse.jdt.core/3.22.0

Thanks,

Jonah

I've made some updates to the IP process documentation in the handbook to try and describe how we use ClearlyDefined.

Specifically... Using ClearlyDefined and Due Diligence Process for Prerequisites.

I'd like to send a long-overdue note out to the entire committer community. But first, I'd like your input... does what I've added in the handbook make sense to you?

FWIW, don't worry about typos. I'll pick them in my next pass.
