Which tier applies?

Sections 1.8, 3.1, 5.1
Is anything owed?

Sections 5.1, 5.2
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.
Section 8.3 forbids imposing a user ceiling, a regional exclusion, or an output-training restriction downstream where this licence imposes none. That prohibition is the point of the instrument.
