URL: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?55733> Summary: The scancode program does not grok "This file is distributed under the same license as ..." Project: GNU gettext Submitted by: haible Submitted on: Mon 18 Feb 2019 12:57:42 AM CET Category: Programmer tools Severity: 3 - Normal Item Group: None Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: haible Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any _______________________________________________________ Details: Reported in https://github.com/nexB/scancode-toolkit/issues/1379 : this kind of hard to dereference [statement](https://git.zx2c4.com/linux/plain/tools/power/cpupower/po/de.po): `# This file is distributed under the same license as the cpufrequtils package.` The culprit code is there: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gettext.git/tree/gettext-tools/src/xgettext.c#n1907 @ueno @bhaible this is a source of less accurate license detection for scancode and a lot of noise and there are 100K+ examples of such license reference out there... I might be able to deal with it somehow. But may be there would be a way to fix it upstream in gettext proper to avoid propagating weak and inconclusive licensing statements in the future? that would be really nice! _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?55733> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
