Check whether a file/project is open-source #122

Open tdegueul opened 5 years ago

tdegueul commented 5 years ago

Scava shall be able to check whether the license used by a file/project is open-source.

Services such as https://licenses.opendefinition.org/ shall come in handy, e.g.:

curl https://licenses.opendefinition.org/licenses/EPL-2.0.json

How do we want the result to be displayed to the user? As a metric? In the dashboard?

That's a good question.. It should be a metric I guess..

Could we have something like: files EPLV2: 349 files EPLV1: 12 files GPLv3: 154 files NO_LICENSE: 198

It would be great to have it in the dashboard also..

Hello, I know it has passed some months since the last message of this commit, but maybe you could use as well the licenseDetector that we created. Currently, it is only used for analyzing the documentation.
