Ghost license
Opened this issue · 1 comments
I scan https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/50/d3/d346f779cbc9384d8b805a7557b5f2b8ee9f842bffebec9fc6364d6ae183/pylint-3.2.3-py3-none-any.wh with scan_single package
ScanCode.io_ 3fa2a1f68d.f95201a764.ce71b4612d.pdf
The summary shows " mit OR gpl-2.0 " as an "other license" but I cannot find it anywhere
The "Scan summary" panel displays data from the summary generated by ScanCode-toolkit using the --summary
option.
Unfortunatly, the summary data as provided by the toolkit does not offer more context about the detection:
summary": {
"declared_license_expression": "gpl-2.0 AND gpl-2.0-plus",
"other_license_expressions": [
{
"value": "gpl-2.0-plus",
"count": 162
},
{
"value": "gpl-2.0",
"count": 27
},
{
"value": null,
"count": 7
},
{
"value": "mit OR gpl-2.0",
"count": 7
},
...
I believe PR #1124 is about providing much more information in the UI about the license detection and should make license data investigation much easier.
@AyanSinhaMahapatra could you confirm the pertinence of #1124 in this ghost license context? Also, what's the status there, any blockers?
