Hello again Mike, I realized after I sent you email yesterday that I failed to mention that the instructions for adding a license are for the bsam license analysis ONLY. This method does not work for nomos license analysis. As it turns out, the instructions for adding a license for nomos analysis<http://www.fossology.org/nomos> are a bit more complex and currently are incomplete. :( I need the expertise of one of our developers, however he's heads down trying to meet a deadline. I'll do my best to get some guidance on a solution for you and reply either way later today.

Hi Mary, These instructions work fine. However I don't seem to have succeed in adding a new license to my analysis. I used the instructions here: http://www.fossology.org/how_to_add_a_license_template_or_license_phrase_and_re-analyze_licenses and I chose the method: Alternately: 1. Place your file under /usr/local/share/fossology/agents/licenses/. 1. Run 'sudo fossinit'. The "..." sequence indicates that the licenses are being installed. Specifically I created the folder /usr/local/share/fossology/agents/licenses/proprietary and placed in it a raw license text file called "Nokia Closed Copyright" which contains the text: Copyright 2007 Nokia. All rights reserved. This material, including documentation and any related computer programs, is protected by copyright controlled by Nokia. All rights are reserved. Copying, including reproducing, storing, adapting or translating, any or all of this material requires the prior written consent of Nokia. This material also contains confidential information which may not be disclosed to others without the prior written consent of Nokia. I want to detect source files in the Symbian OS source tree from which this Nokia license has not been scrubbed. The fossinit process reported 1 more license processed (361) than the initial install. However I notice that after fossinit, there do does not exist a "Nokia Closed Copyright.meta" file, whereas all the default raw licenses have matching .meta files When I rescheduled the analysis, I expected the package to gain a Nomos License report-line for the "Nokia Closed Copyright" license, because I know there are matching files. But the rescheduled analysis ran in 0 time and did not report the new license. I guess the process I have followed is not sufficient to register a new license? I also tried entering the license via License Admin -> Add License (which seems to be under construction). That operation reported the license added but resulted in nothing new appearing under /usr/local/share/fossology/agents/licenses/, and again made no difference when I reran the analysis. Br, Mike
