open

What goes in the SBOM?

Use the SPDX-valid LicenseRef form, the version, the canonical URL, and the attribution records Section 8.1 requires. Until a listed SPDX identifier is issued, do not use an unqualified ORL short form as though it were already on the SPDX License List.

Sections 8.1, 16.1

Cautions

What this situation gets wrong most often.

  • Attribution lives in the package manifest under ORA 8.1, not only in documentation, because an agent package is installed by a machine that never reads a directory listing.
