No crossRef on an extractedLicenseInfo?

[armintaenzertng]

According to spec, an extractedLicenseInfo has the property LicenseCrossReference which I assumed to be implemented by the class CrossRef.
extractedLicenseInfo has no setter for a CrossRef object, though, only for a string collection seeAlso. Which for current purposes is totally fine as the intent to provide a URL is still taken care of. I just wondered if seeAlso should actually be a (collection of) CrossRefs

@armintaenzertng - the seeAlso collection maps directly to the tag LicenseCrossReference.

CrossRef is actually for a different purpose. It is used to record more detail about the the URL's listed in the Listed Licenses web page (e.g. if they are live). It should only be used for listed licenses today.

There is an issue in the spec repo to document these fields: spdx/spdx-spec#46

For the purposes of extractedLicenseInfo I suggest just using the seeAlso collection.

ok then, if seeAlso is fine, I just got confused due to the different naming conventions in the spec and the code.

Thanks for clarifying! :)
