Hi,
rpminspect performs a License tag validation on packages. The license data
comes from a JSON data file that I think was produced at some point from the
Fedora charts on the wiki but then never really updated. Consequently, it
raises failures that are incorrect per current licensing data.
The data for rpminspect comes from:
https://github.com/rpminspect/rpminspect-data-fedora
The license data is in licenses/fedora.json
The format should be somewhat easy to understand. I didn't create it. I
found this database and ran with it. I'd like to come up with a way to keep
it in sync with the data on the wiki. Right now I advise package maintainers
to send me pull requests to update the data, but that's not going to be a long
term solution.
Anyone have any thoughts on this? Ideas of how to keep the information up to
date in all locations?
Thanks,
