Improve conformance license detection

Open fraxken opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

The current license detection is not perfect and may miss many licenses within the ecosystem. In the past I used to run scanner for thousands of packages with https://github.com/fraxken/nsf-nodesecure

My idea on this topic is to re-analyze real-ecosystem cases and use them to improve detection / the implementation.

Hi, are these links a good documentation ? :

  • https://opendefinition.org/licenses/
  • list of SPDX : https://spdx.org/licenses/

it's a huge list to handle !
