protobuf Metadata licenses should be repeated #264
Description
The protobuf specification for bom MetaData does not appear match the XML and JSON specifications. It seems that the licenses field should be a repeated, rather than optional, field in the MetaData to match the JSON and XML schema specification for the same field.
Proto:
message LicenseChoice {
oneof choice {
License license = 1;
string expression = 2;
}
}
message Metadata {
...
// The license information for the BOM document
optional LicenseChoice licenses = 7;
// Specifies optional, custom, properties
repeated Property properties = 8;
}JSON:
"metadata": {
"type": "object",
"title": "BOM Metadata Object",
"licenses": {
"type": "array",
"title": "BOM License(s)",
"additionalItems": false,
"items": {"$ref": "#/definitions/licenseChoice"}
},
A similar apparent discrepancy appears in the v1.5 specifications from proto to JSON.
