We're open source, and we use other open source projects, which have various licenses, and which we (therefore) need to keep track of, to stay good legal open source.
You know what would be a useful standalone contribution? A script that checks svn for additions, deletions, or modifications to the 3rd party components anywhere in the source tree since a particular revision number. I think a search for changes to things named *.jar, *.zip, .tar, or .tar.gz, or *.exe would cover almost everything we've changed in the last six months. To be really thorough it should also search for added/changed/deleted files named LICENSE* or COPYRIGHT* or CREDITS*. Any shell scripters out there who can take a shot at this? For example, it should report that in r878 we replaced tomcat 5.0.24.zip with 5.0.30.zip (in vendor/) and in r408 we added several new jars and zips, and in r595 we deleted a version of NullSoft Installer. -ben benjamin shine software engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Laszlo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.openlaszlo.org/mailman/listinfo/laszlo-dev
