Automating where possible (the existing license has a one-to-one mapping) is desirable, but realistically there are just too many packages that currently have a license such as the poster child "BSD" that are going to require someone(*) to actually look at the upstream license files to decide which SPDX id is the right one (and not all upstreams even name their license files consistently or the contents of those license files have minor syntactic variations). Gary (*) I suppose it is conceivable someone could create a sufficiently accurate AI/ML model to scan the spec file, all the sources, and choose correctly. If this was an ongoing activity that might even make sense. But for a one time activity I suspect packagers are going to have to do it manually unless you are volunteering to build and test that automation. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
