I found a BSD disclaimer used in a six GPL notices I track with three minor variants of the disclaimer: https://github.com/nexB/scancode-toolkit/blob/develop/src/licensedcode/data/rules/gpl-2.0_149.RULE https://github.com/nexB/scancode-toolkit/blob/develop/src/licensedcode/data/rules/gpl-2.0-plus_113.RULE https://github.com/nexB/scancode-toolkit/blob/develop/src/licensedcode/data/rules/gpl-2.0-plus_121.RULE Do you think it is worth tracking a license for that (e.g. bsd-disclaimer id) ? If so, this is pretty easy to add. -- Cordially Philippe Ombredanne
