List of patterns that Ohcount matches?
I've just updated my code to the Affero GPL, but didn't use the full standard header (it's a bit of a waste of space to write out the whole lot when all you need is this file is licensed under licence ..., see COPYING for full license
), but Ohloh is picking it up as GPL (https://www.ohloh.net/p/WarFoundry/analyses/latest).
The first question is, is it possible to get a list of the patterns that Ohcount looks for with each license?
The second question is, is it possible to change Ohcount so that it looks for Affero GPL
as the Affero GPL rather than the standard GPL? I used it because AGPL isn't well known and I didn't want to have it written in full.
Thanks.
HI IBBoard,
We don't have a simple list, but the source code to the license parser is available.
The source code parser Ohcount is a SourceForge project.
The file that contains the license lookup table is src/licenses.c.
From looking at the code, it seems that our Affero detection is not very forgiving. We do not accept AGPL
or Affero GPL
as valid declarations.
This should be relatively easy to add. I've opened a bug ticket for the change, but I can't make any promises about a timetable.
Thanks,
Robin
Thanks for adding that bug ticket/feature request. The Affero GPL is at least close to the GPL, so it isn't a major mis-representation :) I am looking forward to the day when we're able to drill-down in to the stats (to see what files are under which licenses and which files are classed as which file types)
The code is fairly readable for anyone who understands regexes, so it's not too difficult to decypher.
Hi IBBoard,
I am also looking forward to that day :-).
We've wanted to offer web UI to drill into parser results since day one, but other problems have always had higher priority. We'll get there, eventually...
