Names of licenses we currently support

these the licenses we currently identify. Look particularly at the BSDs
and MIts. Some are not licenses but their exception statements. I have the feeling that these cover around 75-86% of files in Debian/Fedora (the source code files that have a license) --dmg AGPLv3+ Apachev1.1 Apachev2 artifex ArtisticLicensev1 autoConfException BeerWareVer42 BindMITX11Var BisonException boost boostV1 BSD1 BSD2 BSD2AdvInsteadOfBinary BSD2aic700 BSD2EndorseInsteadOfBinary BSD2SoftAndDoc BSD2var1 BSD2var2 BSD3 BSD3NoWarranty BSD4 BSD4NoEndor BSDCairoStyleWarr BSDdovecotStyle BSDOnlyAdv CDDLic CDDLicV1 CDDLv1orGPLv2 Cecill ClassPathException CPLv0.5 CPLv1 dovecotSeeCopying DoWhatTheFuckYouWantv2 emacsLic EPLv1 FreeType GhostscriptGPL GPLnoVersion GPLv1 GPLv1+ GPLv1orArtistic GPLv2 GPLv2+ GPLv2orLGPLv2.1 GPLv2orv3 GPLv2orv3qtException GPLv3 GPLv3+ IBMv1 intelBSDLicense InterACPILic kerberos LesserGPLnoVersion LesserGPLv2 LesserGPLv2+ LesserGPLv2.1 LesserGPLv2.1+ LesserGPLv3 LesserGPLv3+ LGPLv2 LGPLv2+ LGPLv2_1 LGPLv2.1 LGPLv2.1+ LGPLv2_1orv3 LGPLv2MISTAKE LGPLv2+MISTAKE LGPLv2orv3 LGPLv3 LGPLv3+ LibGCJLic LibraryGPLv2 LibraryGPLv2+ LinkException LinkExceptionBison LinkExceptionGPL LinkExceptionLeGPL LinkExceptionOpenSSL MITandGPL MITCMU MITCMUvar2 MITCMUvar3 MITmodern MITold MIToldMichiganVersion MIToldwithoutSell MIToldwithoutSellandNoDocumentationRequi MIToldwithoutSellCMUVariant MITVariant MITX11BSDvar MITX11noNotice MITX11NoSellNoDocDocBSDvar MITX11simple MPL1_1andLGPLv2_1 MPLGPL2orLGPLv2_1 MPL_LGPLsee MPL-MIT-dual MPLv1_0 MPLv1_1 MX4J MX4JLicensev1 NCSA NPLv1_0 NPLv1_1 openSSL openSSLvar1 openSSLvar2 openSSLvar3 phpLicV3.01 Postfix postgresql publicDomain QtGPLv2or3 QTv1 SameAsPerl SameTermsAs SeeFile sequenceLic SimpleLic simpleLic simpleLic2 simpleLicense1 SimpleOnlyKeepCopyright SleepyCat SSLeay subversion subversion+ subversionError sunRPC SunSimpleLic svnkit svnkit+ tmate+ W3CLic WxException X11 X11CMU X11Festival X11mit zendv2 ZLIB ZLIBref -- -- Daniel M.

Thanks Daniel. As the reference page for each license and its header emerge - cross checking against this is going to be useful.

Hmm, am a little concerned about putting some of them into the standard set of reference licenses. ... in particular some I think should be flagged as exceptions so they get looked at. ie. BeerWareV42 ;) SameTermsAs and SeeFile are likely not licences but references to licenses. Can I assume that the mapping of names to the actual license search strings can be found in Ninka sources? In particular the BSD and MIT varients look worrisome. Any volunteers to review the details there and make some recommendations? Kate --- On Thu, 8/26/10, D M German <dmg@...> wrote:

I agree, not all are licenses. Exceptions, for example, are treated as

a license, but to make sense, they have to accompany a real one. What I recommend people do, if really interested, is look at the sources of posgresql (see my previous message) and see the different variants of the BSD and MIT licenses we detect. If you run ninka, look at each of the files it creates for a given file analyzed. they will be very helpful in understanding our identification. of course, reading the paper helps. --dmg On Thu, Aug 26, 2010 at 4:30 PM, <kate.stewart@...> wrote:

You'll see samples of the following licenses: BSD2 BSD3 BSD3NoWarranty BSDOnlyEndorseNoWarranty GPLv2+,BisonException MIToldwithoutSellandNoDocumentationRequi MITX11noNotice MITX11NoSellNoDocDocBSDvar postgresql postgresqlRef publicDomain SameAsPerl Perhaps Postgresql is a good example of a project to document using SPDX. It is not too large, but it uses a fair number of licenses, some well know, and some not. kate> Kate -- -- Daniel M.
