Hi Nico,

I'm missing any discussion on how the globbing will be implemented, but I expect it to work similar to a .gitignore file.
True, we didn't touch that yet, as well as the exact format of the YAML or JSON file. From the four options we've shared for discussion [^1], only option 4 has been disapproved in the recent SPDX call as it introduces new keys ("license" and "copyright").
Regarding path globbing, there is the pathspec library [^2] that supports the gitignore patterns, which also is natively available on Debian for example. I could well imagine that this could be a viable globbing standard. However, please feel free to raise your voice if you have concerns or better ideas.
Best, Max
