Existing tools are fragile. * reformated license text * some licenses actually change (e.g. BSD, MIT include the copyright holder name) * use of modified licenses which take the text of an OSS license and add or change clauses, often making it not OSS * imprecise : GPL-2.0 != GPL-3.0 (in fact, they conflict!); "GPL 2 or later". For modified licenses, humans scan the first part and thinks it an XYZ license when in fact it isn't. The AL2 header is already great - it has a URI in it! -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
