LGPLicense is not correctly parsed.
Hello,
first I want to thank you for this great service, where user could easily decide if the project is 'good' or not. (Relying on License, development activity and so on)
Second: My project gstpl contains:
- .......................... GNU Lesser General Public
- License and
- ................................................ GNU
- Lesser General Public License
phrases in all source files, but ohloh didn't correctly detect this as LGPL.
Only some files which have 'GNU Lesser General Public License' on a line were correctly parsed.
Or is there another reason, why ohloh parsed only 22 files as LGPL?
And could you remove 'ASF License conflicts with GPL',
please?
I changed GPL to LGPL in a few files some days ago.
Thank you again,
Peter.
Again,
the formattings are:
GNU Lesser General Public [next line] License
and
GNU Lesser [next line] General Public License
Hi peathal,
This is a known bug in our license parser. If there is an extra character in the middle of the license name (for instance, if the license name contains a line break followed by a comment character like # or * ), then our parser will fail to detect the license.
Can you be more specific about the request to remove 'ASF License conflicts with GPL'
? Where do you see this?
Reports are updated automatically. If you've changed the licensing in the source code, the report should update itself in a few days.
Thank you Robin!
Yes there is a * between the License text. What should I do?
Will the bug be removed in the furture?
Can you be more specific about the request to
remove 'ASF License conflicts with GPL'? Where do you see this?
Sorry, sth. changed: I cannot see this now :-) on the site.
So ohloh updated it already.
Peter.
Robin, It would be really really great to see that parsing fixed. Imho the whole license analysis is one of the most valuable feature ohloh provides, if it would be a bit more reliable. For me this sounds like a one afternoon task. besides there wasn't any NEWS recently so this would fit perfectly. Please.
