Thanks for the reply. I had a file that contained the following line which was uploaded: Copyright: copyright (c) 2008 Company Shouldn't it have recognized as a license based on the keywords below because it was not.

Anything less can be treated as a phrase or "licterm" (license term). The latter requires a code change. A list of keywords defined in the wordcheck functions are used to identify text which might contain a license.(http://fossology.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/fossology/trunk/fossology/agents/foss_license_agent/Filter_License/wordcheck.c?view=markup). This list includes words such as, "acknowledgement", "agreement", "copyright", "disclaimer", "distribute", "liability", "license", "patent", "preamble", "permission", "proprietary", "trademark", etc... Looking at your example specifically, it contains one of the license keywords (copyright), however, it is less than 12 tokens. Therefore, is is not considered a valid license. HTH, Mary From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, June 09, 2009 7:46 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [FOSSology] License template not being recognized Hello, I created a license template with just the following contents: Copyright: copyright (c) 2008 Company: This file was under the directory /usr/share/fossology/agents/licenses I then executed the command /usr/local/bin/fossinit /usr/local/share/fossology/agents/licenses When I went to the "Manage License Terms" page, the new license did not appear. If more content is added to the license template, it would appear. Is there a minimum of what needs to appear in the license template? What type of requirement is there for the content that needs to appear in the template? Thank You
