The duplicate licences situation is getting rather silly... We don't include each variation for licences that vary only by the copyright holder (if we did, we'd need a zillion new GPL-2s and BSDs, but instead they just use <placeholder>s), and we don't care about whitespace variations.
Also note that if a program's licence consists only of a copyright line
with no licence, we can't legally distribute it. Also also note that
sticking licences in the tree that just say "see the BLAH file" is very
very stupid.
Here's an ugly hack of a script, which is very very buggy:
for a in !(CVS) ; do [[ -z "${a/*.pdf}" ]] && continue ; tr '\015' '\n' < ${a}
| grep -vi 'copy\(right\|ing\)' | xargs -0 | tr -s '[[:space:]]' | tr
'[[:space:]]' ' ' | sed -e 's/in no event shall \([a-zA-Z0-9]\+
\)\{1,5\}be//ig' -e 's/the name of \([a-zA-Z0-9]\+ \)\{1,5\}shall not//ig' -e
's/authorization from\( [a-zA-Z0-9]\+\)\{1,5\}\.//ig' -e 's/all rights
reserved.//ig' -e 's/\. \([a-zA-Z0-9]\+ \)\{1,5\}makes no rep//gi' | tr -d
'[[:space:]]' | md5sum | xargs -I, echo , ${a} || break ; done | sort -k1 |
uniq --all-repeated=separate -w32 | cut -d- -f2- | tr -d ' ' | fmt -w999
Here's the output, which is far from perfect:
