colleague wants to, from YP (actually petalinux but should be
irrelevant), some sort of SPDX "notice file", along the lines of what
can be generated by black duck. it doesn't need to be identical, but
it would be useful to at least have a first pass that people can look
at and say what they want tweaked.
is there an example of how to (using the spdx.bbclass class file, i
assume) do something like this? thanks.
a lilttle more progress, and then an error -- i installed fossology
on my ubuntu 18.04 dev box, then added
INHERIT += "spdx"
to local.conf, and tried to build a simple qemuarmx86-64, and very
quickly had a number of native packages fail with:

i have absolutely no idea what to think of this, and am open to
suggestions. does anyone have a working scenario to simply demonstrate
the usage of spdx.bbclass?
