Description
Centralized view of all open issues touching the legal (OSPS-LE) requirements, so duplicates and dependencies are visible in one place. Everything below hinges on the scope ruling in #403.
Blocking decision
- #403 — Consider dropping legal requirements entirely (vs. splitting into profiles/tracks per @puerco). All items below are blocked on or obviated by this ruling.
Blocked on #403
- #397 — Remove OSPS-LE-01.01 (contribution authorization / DCO)
- #399 — Merge OSPS-LE-02.01 + OSPS-LE-02.02 (OSI/FSF license definition)
- #400 — Merge OSPS-LE-03.01 + OSPS-LE-03.02 (LICENSE file locations)
- #401 — Add machine-readable license metadata requirement (would be a new LE control; only relevant if LE stays)
Adjacent (not strictly legal, but raised in the same review and touches LE wording)
- #398 — "while active" phrasing is confusing (affects OSPS-LE-02.0x/LE-03.0x among others; consensus already reached to drop the phrase and scope EOL projects out)

Start with the scope ruling in issue #403, then review the linked legal requirement issues #397, #399, #400, and #401, plus adjacent wording issue #398. Done means the ruling is reflected in this tracker and the affected issues have clear dependency or duplicate status; all listed work is currently blocked on #403.
