Add ISO Foreword

[bact]

• Text from Bob's Word doc 2024-07-22
• Add once ISO JTC-1 approves and we are sending final spec to ISO
  • It is possible to be merge this first, without include this file to the chapter list in mkdocs.yml (currently the mkdocs.yml doesn't include this)
  • Once the final spec was sent, we can include the file to mkdocs.yml

This PR will supersede #974

LGTM

[kestewart]

Should we be mentioning both organizations here?

[bact]

@kestewart another one is The Linux Foundation?

[swinslow]

I would suggest using the following:

This document was prepared by The Linux Foundation under the SPDX Working Group (as SPDX® Specification v3.0.1) and drafted in accordance with its editorial rules. Its preparation and publication has been made in coordination with related efforts with the Object Management Group (OMG).

@bobmartin3000 @kestewart Are you comfortable with this phrasing?

[bact]

@swinslow I have added your suggestion to the source, with additional "and its Contributors" which I take from the copyright line from #1010

[swinslow]

I just added a comment with proposed edits to the language that @kestewart flagged.

I'll ask also (but will defer to the tech team as I'm definitely not close to the details here!) -- it sounds like this language wouldn't be incorporated unless and until it's actually approved by ISO / JTC. Is that correct? Just making sure we aren't publishing something saying "this is approved by ISO" if it isn't actually yet. :)

That is the plan. This would only appear in the document going to ISO.
