feat(sbom): unrecognized licenses export as LicenseRef, not free text (phase 2.4 + SDK v0.9.2) - #429
Conversation
Closes #410. Phase 2.4. SPDX 2.3 has no free-text license field: licenseDeclared must hold a valid expression, NOASSERTION, NONE, or a LicenseRef. Bomly wrote an unrecognized value verbatim -- "see LICENSE file" landed in licenseDeclared as-is -- producing a document a strict consumer can reject. Each such value now mints a reference and the original text travels beside it in hasExtractedLicensingInfos, which is what SPDX defines for this case and, unlike NOASSERTION, keeps the information: ingest reads the text back. The quieter half was the mixed-validity fallback. A set of one recognized and one unrecognized license kept only the first and dropped the rest, which a comment described as deliberate because composing free text would produce something that does not parse. A LicenseRef is a valid expression element, so the set composes whole now and nothing a source declared is lost. Minting is bomly-sdk/spdxkit's, not this package's. A reference has to be deterministic, collision-free across components assembled without coordination, and confined to the characters the SPDX idstring grammar allows; MintLicenseRef answers all three by hashing the whitespace-normalized text, and a sanitizer written here would be a second, worse answer to a question the SDK already settled. What stays local is policy: which values classify how, where the extracted texts attach, and how ingest maps them back. Ingest resolves only an atomic reference. A compound expression naming one among other terms has no single text to become, and substituting free text into it would produce something that no longer parses. A foreign document's own reference-to-text pairing is taken as stated rather than re-minted: there the document is the authority, not our hash. docs/SBOM.md and ADR-0035 drop the limitation they recorded; the ADR gets a dated note rather than a rewritten body, since it recorded a decision that was true when made. The note also redirects its references to internal/licenseexpr, which #428 deleted. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

v0.9.2 closes both SDK issues this branch's predecessors filed, so the workarounds they left behind can go. sdk#43 landed as NodePURL. The projection existed twice here and deliberately so -- internal/graphview for the renderers and internal/sbom for the codec, because a codec importing the CLI's output layer inverts the layering -- with both commented as converging on the accessor once it shipped. It shipped; both delegate; the question every surface asks of a node has one answer now. graphview keeps ChildrenAmong and TopLevelParentIDs, which are CLI policy rather than model semantics. sdk#39 landed as PEP 440 canonicalization before minting, so two spellings of one PyPI release fold again. TestPythonVersionCaseIsNotFoldedYet existed to make that gap visible rather than silent, and its failure message said to fold the case back into TestEquivalentPythonSpellingsFoldOnInsertion and delete it once a normalizer arrived. Done exactly that: the fold test carries the "1.0.0RC1" spelling again. No golden drift. The fixtures' PyPI versions are already canonical -- pip, poetry and uv all write normalized versions -- so the change reaches only the hand-written requirements case it was filed for.

Closes #410. Phase 2.4, plus the
bomly-sdkv0.9.2 adoption folded in.The defect
SPDX 2.3 has no free-text license field —
licenseDeclaredmust hold a valid expression,NOASSERTION,NONE, or aLicenseRef. Bomly wrote an unrecognized value verbatim, so a package declaringsee LICENSE fileproduced a document a strict consumer can reject.The quieter half was the mixed-validity fallback: a set of one recognized and one unrecognized license kept only the first and dropped the rest. A comment called that deliberate, because composing free text would produce something that does not parse. It was still a silent loss of a license a source had actually declared.

A foreign document's own reference-to-text pairing is taken as stated rather than re-minted — there the document is the authority, not our hash.SDK v0.9.2 adoption
v0.9.2 closes both SDK issues this branch's predecessors filed, so the workarounds they left behind go with it:
NodePURL. The node-to-purl projection existed twice here, deliberately:internal/graphviewfor the renderers andinternal/sbomfor the codec, because a codec importing the CLI's output layer inverts the layering. Both were commented as converging on the accessor once it shipped. It shipped; both delegate.graphviewkeepsChildrenAmongandTopLevelParentIDs, which are CLI policy rather than model semantics.TestPythonVersionCaseIsNotFoldedYetexisted to make that gap visible rather than silent, and its own failure message said to fold the case back and delete it once a normalizer arrived — done exactly that.Delegation check
LicenseRef-*minting, idstring safety, collision-freedom:spdxkit.MintLicenseRef— delegated. It hashes the whitespace-normalized text, so the identifier is deterministic and collision-resistant across components assembled without coordination, and confined to the characters SPDX allows.spdxkit.Classify. Expression composition:spdxkit.Compose. Reference enumeration on ingest:spdxkit.LicenseRefsIn— so a reference is what the grammar says one is, not a prefix match.sdk.NodePURL.Verification
make verify SMOKE=1green, zero golden drift on both halves. No fixture carries an unrecognized license, and the fixtures' PyPI versions are already canonical (pip, poetry and uv all write normalized versions) — so the PEP 440 change reaches only the hand-written requirements case it was filed for. That is exactly why the new tests drive the behaviour directly rather than relying on goldens.Every acceptance criterion from the issue has a test, each mutation-checked:
FuzzSPDXLicenseValuenow asserts the stronger invariant the issue implies: whatever the input, the field isNOASSERTIONor parses as an SPDX expression, and every minted reference is both valid for its text and named by the field.docs/SBOM.mdand ADR-0035 drop the limitation they recorded. The ADR gets a dated note rather than a rewritten body — it recorded a decision that was true when made — and the note also redirects itsinternal/licenseexprreferences, since #428 deleted that package.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
