You should clarify what you mean by non-free in this situation; * artefacts under licenses that prevent software using them from being DFSG-free * artefacts that are probably missing their preferred form for modification (aka source) > The tool would be used for java projects. Does such exist? People on the debian-java list would probably know some Java-specific tools but two Debian-specific tools do some of this are: lintian: detects some non-free licenses and detects some files that are missing source suspicious-source (from devscripts): detects files that usually aren't source and shouldn't be in source tarballs You can also find files named *paypal* or *flattr*, those are usually non-free. http://lintian.debian.org/tags/source-is-missing.html http://lintian.debian.org/tags/license-problem-font-adobe-copyrighted-fragment-no-credit.html http://lintian.debian.org/tags/license-problem-font-adobe-copyrighted-fragment.html http://lintian.debian.org/tags/license-problem-gfdl-invariants-empty.html http://lintian.debian.org/tags/license-problem-gfdl-invariants.html http://lintian.debian.org/tags/license-problem-gfdl-non-official-text.html http://lintian.debian.org/tags/license-problem-json-evil.html http://lintian.debian.org/tags/license-problem-md5sum-non-distributable-file.html http://lintian.debian.org/tags/license-problem-md5sum-non-free-file.html http://lintian.debian.org/tags/license-problem-non-free-RFC-BCP78.html http://lintian.debian.org/tags/license-problem-non-free-RFC.html http://lintian.debian.org/tags/license-problem-nvidia-intellectual.html http://lintian.debian.org/tags/non-free-flash.html http://manpages.debian.org/man0/suspicious-source -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
