Hi,
Below is my attempt at trying to report on some possibly incorrect license attributes. I grab a recent "License" attribute from a recent RPM, and then I show you results from files I automatically scanned from the original FC12 DVD. There are some slight version mismatches between the recent RPM I grabbed and the FC12 RPM, but I did that just in case you already fixed the license attribute - I didn't want to bother you with already fixed stuff!
I hope you can make sense of the format below. The listings after the '---' are source files and their detected license that support my claim that the license attribute in the RPM might be incorrect.

Hi,
I'm thinking the right place for these reports is actually:
If no one objects within next week, I'll start creating the bug reports on March 2nd.

If you fire an email off to Dr. Daniel M. German he's probably happy to send you the script! It's in perl and makes heavy use of regular expressions. In some preliminary tests it seems to be more accurate than Fossology, and it runs much much faster. The fosslic command-line tool is almost unusable in my opinion because of how slow it is. I hope I haven't offended any Fossology people on this list!
I'm not sure if he's sole author or if it was funded or what, but I know he hopes to release it under the GPL soon if he hasn't already.
yours,
Julius

Please block these against FE-Legal when you open the bug reports, so I can easily find them.
