Description

According to the documentation and output files, the format of the SPDX document is in version 2.2 ("spdxVersion": "SPDX-2.2")

However, according to the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), SPDX documents must be version 2.3 or higher to meet the requirements.
Source: BSI-TR-03183-2.pdf

Are there any plans to update the sbom-tool to output version 2.3 documents?
