| 40 | + Hey Tushar, |
| 41 | + Informally, the Xen Project Security Team is happy for you to include the data from xsa.json in your open-source vulnerability database. As a courtesy we'd request that it be documented where the information came from. (I think if the data includes links to then advisories on our website, that will suffice.) |
| 42 | + Formally, we're not copyright lawyers; but we don't think there's anything copyright-able in the xsa.json: There is no editorial or creative control in the generation of that file; it's just a collection of facts which you could re-generate by scanning all the advisories. (In fact that's exactly how the file is created; i.e., the collection of advisory texts is our "source of truth".) |
| 43 | + We do have "Officially license all advisory text as CC-BY-4" on our to-do list; if you'd be more comfortable with an official license for xsa.json as well, we can add that to the list. |
| 44 | +
