Possibility to track license changes #192

Open Trilarion opened 5 years ago

Trilarion commented 5 years ago

Once we can automatically detect licenses (#191), try to detect license changes automatically. Maybe sometimes, the license got more restrictive, for example going from CC without NC to CC with NC, etc. ...

One such possible case is #409.

We can automatically detect the license as one step and then checkout repositories commit by commit and look for the license. However that may take a long time for only a few cases. Maybe we can simply look in the index for typical license files and check them out as a non-complete but more efficient way.
