Hi Daniel,
I'm looking at cplTest.java.  The reason it is reported as "Common  
Public License" and not "Common Public License v1.0" has to do with a  
really unfortunate aspect of our current license analyzer.  What  
happened is that bSAM recognized this snippet as an Eclipse Public  
License 1.0 reference.  However, licinspect says, "but the license  
says it is "Common Public License".  So if you click on "ref" in View  
License, you will see the EPL, but the report says that it is "Common  
Public License".   The problem is that licinspect uses a different set  
of license names than the bSAM license analyzer.  If you go to  
Organize > License > Manage Terms, and "Select canonical group to  
edit" to "Common Public License", you will see the phrase "common  
public license".  That means that when we see "common public license"  
inside of a bSAM identified license, we will label the license "Common  
Public License".

You probably noticed that the next item in the pull-down to "Select  
canonical group to edit" is "Common Public License v1.0" and it is  
defined only to be what bSAM identifies as "CPL/Common Public License  
v1.0".

So you can fix this problem by defining the term "common public  
license v1.0" in Manage License Terms, then clicking on "reanalyze" in  
the license report.  Here are the steps in Mange License Terms:

1) "Select canonical group to edit" > Common Public License v1.0        
2) "Add a new keyword, term, or phrase to this canonical group." >  
type in "common public license v1.0"
3) click the Add button
4) click the commit button
5) view the file in the license browser and click "reanalyze"

I hope that helps.  Version 1.1 should make this much simpler.
