If only fossology were still in Debian, lintian could then declare a dependency on nomos. Really, though, would you prefer a blacklist instead? lintian could warn on shortnames "BSD", "BSD3", "BSD-2", "BSD (2 clause)", "BSD License", "GPLv2", "GPL (v2 or later)", "MIT" and so on. The lack of any feedback right now is leading to data pollution which makes the machine-readable copyright format not very useful as a machine-readable copyright format. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
