SPDX Becomes Internationally Recognized Standard for Software Bill of Materials

To be clear: NASA now says "our standard is that published by $LARGER_INDUSTRY_GROUP , which will charge money". They don't say "We produced this standard, so you need to pay us money for it". Copyright doesn't apply to official works of the US federal government, so they can't do that. There are still many NASA standards that are open: of course, that's generally because they are spaceship-specific.
