I did discover extra files in the new folder created, I didn't notice them before since they didn't show in the explorer window but they showed in the terminal, sorry for misleading you. After removing the files, it worked correctly. Thanks again for everyone's help.

I started again with a new installation. I created a directory under /usr/local/share/fossology/agents/licenses with the Company name. I then copied the Adobe and Adobe.meta files from the Adobe folder to the folder I created. I renamed them to Company and Company.meta. Next, I opened the Company file in a text editor and copied the Company's license into there and saved it. I opened the Company.meta file in a text editor, modified the URL, and saved it. There were no files that ended in a ~ in the new directory. I only saw two files there. After executing the command /usr/local/bin/fossinit /usr/local/share/fossology/agents/licenses, I noticed there were two Canonical names added in the "Manage License Terms" page, they were Company and Adobe~. The Adobe~ contained the license which I added. I went to upload a license and it found it associated with the Adobe~ group. It seems that I am not creating the license templates correctly. What is the correct way of creating these files, can I copy it from another license directory and modify it using a text editor or is there some tool I need to use to generate these files?

That's an emacs back up file. I don't know if other editors use a name like that or not. Even if you just opened a file with emacs didn't make any changes, there may still be a backup file. Hi, Thanks for the detailed description! I think the instructions are slightly off. You need to create a directory (not a file) in /usr/local/share/fossology/agents/licenses/ for your new template. The directory name should be meaningful. For instance, all Adobe license are under the directory Adobe, like this: la...@myhost:/usr/share/fossology/agents/licenses$ ls -l Adobe/ total 24 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1883 2009-05-08 17:22 Adobe -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 599 2009-05-08 17:22 Adobe AFM short -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12 2009-05-08 17:22 Adobe AFM short.meta -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 84 2009-05-08 17:22 Adobe.meta -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 498 2009-05-08 17:22 Adobe short -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 84 2009-05-08 17:22 Adobe short.meta This example contains 3 license templates and their corresponding .meta files. When the license analysis matches text to a template, the license identification is determined by the file name with the closest matching text. Based upon what you describe below, I think you did the right thing - despite the poor instructions! I don't know why the License group shows <Company Name> and <Company Name>~.. Did you ever delete the original <Company Name> you added to the license group BEFORE you created a license template? If not, that could be the cause. Please try deleting <Company Name>~. Also, when you get a template match, there should be a "ref" link to click on that displays the reference template used to determine the match. Please try clicking on that and tell me the result. There should be a pathname corresponding to the path where your template lives.

I tried to follow the instructions below that were documented to add a license template: Place your file under /usr/local/share/fossology/agents/licenses/. Run 'sudo fossinit'. The ”…” sequence indicates that the licenses are being installed. I created a directory under /usr/local/share/fossology/agents/licenses/ called <Company Name>. I noticed the files under the other directories containing the licenses were not just text files, but a different format. I copied two files from a different directory, it included the file that included the license and the .meta file to the directory I created. I then renamed the files to <Company Name> and <Company Name>.meta. I updated the file <Company Name> to contain our license. I then executed the following command: /usr/local/bin/fossinit /usr/local/share/fossology/agents/licenses/ The command completed successfully, but when I went to the "Manage License Terms" Page, it showed the Canonical name twice, once as <Company Name> and once as <Company Name>~. I then uploaded a file that contained the license and the result was it found a license of type license, not <Company Name>. It seems that I'm not creating the license template correctly. Could someone please provide details on how to properly create a license template under /usr/local/share/fossology/agents/licenses that has the same file type as the others.

From: Laser, Mary Sent: Tuesday, June 02, 2009 1:08 PM To: '[email protected]' Subject: RE: [FOSSology] Identifying new license in Fossology If you are trying to add an entire license vs... a phrase, you should follow the directions for adding a license template.. License Terms are used to "fine tune" the results of an identified license. For instance, if a GPL v2 license is identified as GPL with unknown version, the section of identified license text will be compared against License Terms to pinpoint the exact license (GPL v2). >From what you've described, the license cannot be identified (because there is >no template). Therefore, there is no license text to compare against the >License Terms.

I am using the "Manage License Terms" page through the UI to do this but am having some difficulty. I created a new Canonical name called "Company Name" and created a new term that was specific to that group. The term was the following: "Copyright Company Name". I then did an Upload from a URL which contained a license file that contained that term. However, the result was it did not find the license. What's strange is when I add the term "proprietary" to the group, it recognizes it, but any other phrase, it does not recognize. Should I be using the UI to identify a new license or should I follow the instructions on the page "How to Add a License Template or License Phrase and Re-Analyze Licenses" in the documenation to do this? The documentation says it requires re-running the build and modifying the database.. Any help is greatly appreciated.
