Hi Peter!
I like your tool licenserecon/lrc, but I have one question about it,
where I didn't find an answer for. Since I think that it is a
misunderstanding of my side, I won't file a bug report for it.
I've filed one now!
https://bugs.debian.org/1119932
But there is no "Perl" license, but Perl itself is under "Artistic or
GPL-1+", which I defined in debian/copyright:
...
Is there any trick to make lrc feel happy about "Perl" being some
kind of an alias for "Artistic or GPL-1+" or do I have to change
debian/copyright?
I've added the facility to list license aliases in debian/lrc.config.
I use the vertical bar '|' as separator, so these lines can be cut and
pasted from lrc's output.
Where the same license discrepancy occurs over several files in different
directories, it makes a lot of sense to just list the license pairs,
rather then each file.
As the Artistic or GPL-1+ | Perl issue is likely to affect
other Perl packages, its included by default in version 9.0
I had been considering this feature for a while now, thanks for the nudge!
Cheers,
Peter
