Hi Mike,
those instructions are for BSAM license agent. Adding a new license to nomos
requires editing of parse.c and STRINGS.in files and then recompiling of
nomos agent. Depending on what kind of license one wants to add this may
be an easy task or not so easy. Add new license page is just for storing
license information, the license agent does not use that information.
This is how I understand the procedure, I hope fossology team
corrects if I tried to lead you to wrong direction. Note that
this is for the easy case, someone else should tell what to do in
the not-so-easy case.
Adding a new license has two steps. In the first step
the license text has to be correctly identified
as as a new XYZ-license. In the second step files which
are referring to the new license have to be identified
as XYZ licensed files.
Nomos does license identification using short phrases.
If nomos is not identifying the license then it may identify
it as a "style" type of license if it has similarities with
the known license types or a "not license found" or "copyright"
type file. In the former case you don't have to add new
license phrases (_LT_) to STRINGS.in but only a new TITLE for the
XYZ-license. This may sound odd but it does not matter whether
license is identified as BSD-style or MPL-style or Apache-style
when it is eventually tagged with the right license information.
For example:
#
%ENTRY% _TITLE_XYZ-LICENSE1
%KEY% "licen[cs]"
%STR% "XYZ-licen[cs]e (v|version ) 1\.?0"
#
Note syntax . Both \ and ? are required around '.'.
In addition parse.c has to be updated. If the new license was
identified a style type license then add to right place
a new else if block like
else if (INFILE(_TITLE_XYZ-LICENSE1)) {
INTERESTING("XYZ_v1.0");
}
Nomos agent has to be now recompiled. You don't have to
install the new agent yet but it is better to test
it using command line ui. Nomos agent may need to access
the database, so you may have to run nomos agent
as a user that has access to postgre db like
$sudo -u fossy ./nomos xyx-license.txt
As a result you should get output
File LICENSE contains license(s) XYZ_v1.0
I hope this helps.
