Thanks Tom for the suggestion and thanks Sam for catching the error.

 

I've added a check in the utility we use to create the license list pages.  I found 5 additional licenses in the 2.0rc2 version of the license list:

CPOL-1.02

PDDL-1.0

OSL-2.1

RPSL-1.0

SugarCRM-1.1.3

I have seen this type of problem occur on occasion due to character encoding issues.  In SPDX we use UTF-8.  If we use the wrong encoding for a text file anywhere along the process of converting a license proposal to a standard license on the web page, we can end up with this type of a problem.

Just let me know if you see any more character encoding problems and I'll add the new "bad characters" to the check.

FYI, the presence of the � depends on the application that is reading the file, so is often missed.  A check for � can be done with a windows find command for the character string ^u65533.  Tom

Subject: Bad character in EUPL-1.1 license.

 

Hi,

 

I would like to report that the EUPL-1.1 license (https://spdx.org/licenses/EUPL-1.1) contains  bad character in the following text in bullet 5:

 

For the sake of this clause, "Compatible Licence�" refers

 

The bad character after the word 'Licence" does not appear in the original of this license (https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/system/files/EN/EUPL%20v.1.1%20-%20Licence.pdf) and therefore I think the bad character should be removed from the SPDX copy.
