GPL-3.0 License failed precheck, it identifies as AGPL-3.0 (which it isn't)

Open wspitts2 opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

We would like to use GPL-3.0 License but it fails the precheck saying that AGPL-3.0 is prohibited. We used the following GPL-3.0 license file (we obviously called it LICENSE): https://github.com/efabless/mpw_precheck/blob/mpw-5c/checks/license_check/_licenses/_approved_licenses/GPL-3.0.txt

Ran mpw_precheck and got the message: "A prohibited LICENSE (AGPL-3.0) was found"

We compared it to the AGPL-3.0 License here: and the GPL-3.0 and AGPL-3.0 files are different in the license_check. https://github.com/efabless/mpw_precheck/blob/mpw-5c/checks/license_check/_licenses/_prohibited_licenses/AGPL-3.0.txt

There is no AGPL license in the project .

The Apache 2.0 license does pass precheck so we know we are running it correctly.

Thanks in advance.

I can confirm that this is still an issue. When i remove the AGPL and SSPL licenses from the precheck tool license folder it will work fine.
