LGPL license detection #97

Open hexane360 opened 3 years ago

hexane360 commented 3 years ago

Right now, it appears that LGPL projects are incorrectly being classified as GPL projects.

As an example, Results.jl displays as GPL-3.0 on JuliaHub, but as LGPL-3.0 on GitHub.

This is probably because JuliaHub does not look for the COPYING.LESSER file of LGPL.

As another example, QML.jl displays as GPL-3.0 on JuliaHub, despite being LGPL-3.0 on GitHub (this time using a LICENSE.md file)
