Hi @AliSajid. Copying from the change log:
- Previously, any file that begins with `COPYING` or `LICENSE` was ignored. This
has been changed. Now, files like `COPYING_README` are no longer ignored, but
`COPYING` and `COPYING.txt` are still ignored (in other words: exact matches,
or `COPYING` + a file extension). Idem ditto for `LICENSE`. (#886)
It should suffice to rename to LICENSE.MIT
.
LICENSE.APACHE
may not be recognized correctly on https://pkg.go.dev/ (see License Disclaimer). However, this may be something the other side should fix.
This is possibly also an issue that could be solved here, although it would annoyingly require a spec bump, which is not ideal at all. I'll get back on this.
LICENSE.APACHE
may not be recognized correctly on https://pkg.go.dev/ (see License Disclaimer). However, this may be something the other side should fix.
This may be solved by merging LICENSE-MIT
and LICENSE-APACHE
into a single file (LICENSE
):
Apache License 2.0 text
---
MIT License text
Thank you for this detailed response and I appreciate you helping me out. REUSE is a great project and I'm indebted to your team for it. Thank you.
You're welcome @AliSajid ! I will re-open this issue because I am discussing it tomorrow with the team.
I'm working on a project that was up until recently REUSE compliant. I had two files,
LICENSE-MIT
andLICENSE-APACHE
in the repository to have GitHub license recognition work as well as a.reuse/dep5
and theLICENSES
directory.Today as I upgraded to
reuse
tool 4.0.2 from 3.0.2, I see a non-compliance warning with the above 2 license files being marked as not containing a license. As I understand from #881 that the tool ignores the files that start withLICENSE
. Please advise on how to proceed here.Repository: CogDisResLab/Kaleidoscope
