Hi Richard, You should be looking at the new documentation at
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/ for the list of approved
licenses. The old wiki page does have a note at the top to the new link,
but we should make it redirect automatically, so thanks for the
reminder! We do have a list of tools on this page that you may find
helpful and always welcome updates to the page to help describe the
tools, what they are good or bad at, etc. No tool is perfect, that's for
sure! https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/license-audit-tools/ As
for the SPDX identifier for whatever text you found, it's like MIT but
to be sure, I'd probably use SPDX-license-diff to check. Thanks, Jilayne
------- So subject kind of says it all, but to follow up, when I google
Fedora known good licenses I get this:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main#SoftwareLicensesWhich uses
the old license identifiers, so there's that. And licensecheck is a PITA
because I have to always add "--shortname-scheme=spdx" and it still
doesn't give it to us in the format we want. Sure I could make my own
script or alias to do this, and I hate to be a broken record but maybe
people would adopt the new format faster if we gave them the tools to
make it easy. I have about 5% of the time I used to be able to devote to
packaging these days. Thanks, Richard
