Should the tool or the spec be the original source of truth?
TBH, I’d prefer the spec to be clean and the tool to adapt. With reuse.toml
it should be trivial to ignore the COPYING
and LICENSE
files if they exist.
The reason why LICENSES/
is ignored in the spec is because it is part of the spec. Ignoring files and folders that are not part of the spec is tricky, because their naming and actual use is outside of our control. (e.g. there’s LICENSE
, LICENCE
, COPYRIGHT
, COPYING
, LICENSE.GPL
, etc. etc.)
Implemented in spec
