Although I voted for this, we should wait for the resolution of spdx/change-proposal#8 before merging it.

Agree - I'll change this to draft.

Here's next steps copied from the meeting etherpad where this was discussed:

* Steve to upload minutes to meetings repo
* Steve to send details of current discussion and considered options to the mailing lists
* Jilayne to contact EU legal list for their input
* Timing: next release of SPDX spec will be in a week and a half, ideally would have this solution incorporated by then

@jlovejoy @swinslow - if you could update this issue once the decision is finalized.

Thanks all. As mentioned in #341, consensus was not reached at the 2023-07-27 meeting about whether to (1) keep the field but broaden it to permit using any valid license expression, or (2) remove the field altogether. Links to the discussion and details are in #341.

@swinslow : any updates here, was there further discussion?

PR #500 Payload.md mentions support for dataLicense at the physical document level.
