@bact bact released this 28 Apr 08:14
  • First release
  • It does the job in general
  • Takes 1-2 seconds for each query at command line. May not usable for projects with thousands of license text to check.
  • Open question: Apache-2.0 vs Pixar matching confusion needs to be fixed
    • According to SPDX License List, Pixar "is essentially Apache-2.0 with modifications to section 6." So they are very similar.
    • Currently in the test, Apache-2.0 license text is misidentified as Pixar.
    • Same on SPDX Online Tools v1.3.3
    • Popularity score (--pop) can help fix this, since Apache-2.0 is way more popular than Pixar.
    • But we can't turn on the popularitry score by default, since it will degrade the accuracy overall (note: in a generated dataset that may not represent the real demographic of licenses)
    • Popularity score currently rely on information from GitHub Innovation Graph
