Hello
The licence tree function is no more avaliable. I send an email to Bruno
Cornec and he answered that " it was replaced by License List". We are
not fully satisfied by the Licence List. Indeed, we appreciated to be
able to double-clicked and to access directly to the licence text in
order to read it.
This is still possible to do that but it required to look for the file
ans it takes more time. It could become difficult to perform analysis
for important SW.
We have also one question. When it is written for example
"*LGPL_v2.1+"*, we understand that the licence is not fully compliant.
We don't know:
- if all the licence texts are the same in this bucket
or
- if you put all the licence texts that are not fully compliant in it
and, in this case, we would have different differences that we would
have to detect.
Thank you for support.
Best regards
Patrick
PS: the new feature called Copyright/Email/URL Browser is very nice!

If this doesn't meet your needs for some reason it would be helpful to
know why.
That said, there is a known issue with "License List" and the old
"license tree", they are both very slow.
This feature was helping us a lot as we use Fossology to perform license
compliance analysis of our software. This analysis is based on the SW
architecture and is performed component by component. The new release
will required to performed a manual mapping.
So, I have 2 questions:
- do you know if a new feature (that we do not have yet discovered)
could help us?
- if not, do you think that the license tree feature can be added in the
next releases?
Many thanks.
