Misleading mapping LGPL to Apache 2 license

[len-ro]

Hello,

While using the plugin to analyse the licenses of a java project (via the jk1 plugin) I found out a very misleading results. The hibernate-core license:

        {
            "moduleName": "org.hibernate:hibernate-core",
            "moduleVersion": "3.5.6-Final",
            "moduleLicenses": [
                {
                    "moduleLicense": "GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE, Version 2.1",
                    "moduleLicenseUrl": "https://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl-2.1"
                }
            ]
        },

was reported as apache 2

After a lot of research I found the issue to be due to the following line in the default mapping:

{ "regex": ".*AL.*2.*", "license": "Apache-2.0" },

the string "GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE, Version 2.1" matches the regexp :)

Thanks

@derkoe is this "(?i)Apache License? Version.?2.0" a better regex in this case?

I do not know what was the case which this regexp was trying to solve but indeed having the "Apache License" part will surely not match the LGPL license text.

Default mappings are gone already, so you are on your own there.
