TripleCheck 0.4


Nuno Brito
 

Dear SPDX group,

I'd like to announce the availability of a new SPDX editor/viewer.

Features:

- Create an SPDX document from:
-- a source code folder on disk
-- a zipped file on the network

- User interface:
-- Desktop UI
-- Access from a web browser

- Java based (tested under Windows and Linux)
- Tree navigation of files and folders
- Search features (name, hash, similar files)
- Basic SPDX editing features
- Metrics calculation (LOC, size, number of files)
- Basic license detection (detects GPL, LGPL, ...) headers in source code
- Learning function (supports plugins, new licenses, ...)

The tool is freeware, code is released under the open source EUPL.

These are the first editions, many defects are present that we'll be addressing in the upcoming months. If you have any requests or would like to report a defect, just write us back an email.


At the moment only the tag/value format is supported. On our context there wasn't much demand for supporting the XML version. An SPDX document generated by our tool writes more information that what the standard prescribes. For example, we include the hashes for other algorithms because they help us finding trails of specific files across the web.


This tool is useful if you need a quick way to visually generate an SPDX document from a set of files on your disk. We were already developing this kind of tools in the past for forensic analysis purposes, moved recently to embrace the SPDX format.

With kind regards,
Nuno Brito

Hi Jack,

Thank you for the kind suggestion, very appreciated. I'd just ask to wait some weeks before the tool is listed. Some defects were reported that I'd like to get sorted before more users run the software.

Will get back to this message as soon as possible.

With kind regards,
Nuno Brito

Hi Jack,

I'd like to follow-up on this message if possible, the points from the requirement list were quoted to place my answers in context.


The tool must currently support SPDX (i.e. it is not a planned release).
Checked.


You have a page on your website that describes how the tool supports SPDX. This will be the link you provide in the Required Information below.
Checked.


Whether this is a community or commercial tool.
Community. Contributions from other developers interested in submitting additional license detection rules and fix defects are warmly welcome through github or email.

To clarify, I use this software on commercial practice to "scratch my own itch" [1] in the open source way of doing things.


A small logo which can be displayed. This is optional. If provided it must meet the following criteria
Attached to this message you find a TripleCheck with 251x122px as specified in the criteria


A short teaser of one or two sentences that describes your tool. No more than 160 characters including spaces
Straight-forward free tool to create SPDX reports right from your desktop.


A long description which can be up to a couple of paragraphs. Try not to get too verbose. You will have a link to your website for lengthy explanations.
The TripleCheck reporter is the ideal tool for a quick overlook of the licensing compliance status for a given set of source code files in your desktop computer (Windows, Linux, Mac OSX). If some license or copyright is not detected by the tool, you can easily add new rules by yourself. We are building a community around open source tooling and your help is welcome to grow the open database of licensing rules. Look for us on GitHub.


An http link to your site for access to the tool and information on how it supports SPDX.
http://www.triplecheck.de/download/



The current version of the tool is 0.6 so perhaps is better to omit version references and just call the tool "TripleCheck reporter". If there is anything else needed, please do let me know.

Just in case, I have prepared a short video showcasing the tool that you find at http://youtu.be/nljP6hC8xbc


With kind regards,
Nuno Brito

Nick,

While I've only spent ~15min with the tool, I was very impressed with the ease of use and the ability to install this and get almost immediate and useful! results. Great work! I'll keep you posted on my findings.

Best Regards,
Scott
