Package: licensecheck Version: 3.0.42-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
The file stdint-msvc2008.h [1] from libuv1 package is reported by licensecheck as: $ licensecheck --copyright include/uv/stdint-msvc2008.h include/uv/stdint-msvc2008.h: BSD 2-clause "Simplified" License BSD (unspecified) [Copyright: 2006-2008 Alexander Chemeris] Unfortunately, the header of this file [1] is a BSD-3-Clause license. I guess that licensecheck is tripped by the quotes around "AS IS" which are actually a mashup of back-quotes and quotes: ``AS IS'' I've looked at regexp-pattern-license code, and it looks like OPenSSL can cope with backquote and quotes. BUt I don't know how to apply this to BSD regexp. Could you fix this issue ? All the best Dod [1] https://salsa.debian.org/debian/libuv1/blob/d5260384c589f80f84af4afcd930fd33e735bc86/include/uv/stdint-msvc2008.h -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.4.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages licensecheck depends on: ii libarray-intspan-perl 2.003-1 ii libgetopt-long-descriptive-perl 0.104-1 ii liblist-someutils-perl 0.58-1 ii liblog-any-adapter-screen-perl 0.140-1 ii liblog-any-perl 1.708-1 ii libmoo-perl 2.003006-1 ii libnamespace-clean-perl 0.27-1 ii libpath-iterator-rule-perl 1.014-1 ii libpath-tiny-perl 0.108-1 ii libpod-constants-perl 0.19-1 ii libre-engine-re2-perl 0.13-4+b1 ii libregexp-pattern-license-perl 3.1.101-1 ii libregexp-pattern-perl 0.2.11-1 ii libscalar-list-utils-perl 1:1.53-1 ii libsort-key-perl 1.33-2+b2 ii libstrictures-perl 2.000006-1 ii libstring-copyright-perl 0.003006-1 ii libstring-escape-perl 2010.002-2 ii libtry-tiny-perl 0.30-1 ii perl 5.30.0-9 ii perl-base [libscalar-list-utils-perl] 5.30.0-9 licensecheck recommends no packages.
