Hi Oliver,
No one is currently working on this so it would be great if you can
contribute it.
Since you aren't currently a fossology developer, you should just post
on this list what you want to do and how you plan to go about it.
That way you can get feedback to make sure that when you are done, it
will "fit in".
You can have your own copyright or assign it to HP. You can chose
your own license as long as it is compatible with the rest of our
code, or just use what we use (GPL v2). Since this would be a UI
plugin, writing it in php would be best.
It would be great if you sent us updates to test as you go. Assuming
the updates look good and you want commit access, we will give it to
you. If you don't want commit access, just send the code to the list,
I'll check it out and check it in for you. You won't be on the hook
for maintenance unless you want to be.
Is that painless enough? ;-)
BTW, if you look at most (all?) of the UI plugins, you will see that
there was initially the idea that the output could take multiple forms
(html, text, xml). But everything except html is usually ignored.

Hi all,
I browsed the task list an found a feature to be developed that will
make it possible to export the "license report as pdf" my question
is whether there is currently some one working on it or not?
Further I want to know that if nobody is working on this feature and
we would start to work on it, what the conditions would be to be to
get our implementation accepted as contribution and who will take
care about further maintenance (we need an editable textfile as
export)?
I'm asking because I did not find any information regarding that, if
I simply missed it please point me to the right location.
thanks
Best regards
