Hi.
I have created new tool license-validate
https://pagure.io/copr/license-validate/
And I packaged it for Fedora. Here is the review request:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2035680
The goal of this tool is to validate the string in the License tag in the spec file. I.e.
LIcense: GPLv2
---------------^^^^ this part only
It doe **not** check if it actually agree with the actual code or
even %license file. We have `licensecheck` for that.
The Fedora's package already contains list of license from Licensing:Main and you can run it as
$
license-validate -v 'GPLv1 or (MIT
and BSD)'
Approved license
or
$ license-validate -v 'GPL or (MIT
and BSD)'
No terminal defined for 'G' at line 1 col 1
GPL or (MIT and BSD)
...
Not a
valid license string
which fails because GPL is not valid short name.
My next goal will be to
download all Fedora's spec files, extract the license line and
run it through this script. But I am going to be few days
offline, so anyone who want step in QE shoes can do that - I
will not be mad :)
Comments are welcomed.
Miroslav
