Stefan Bodewig commented on RAT-49:
-----------------------------------
OK, I tried it on SLF4J and RAT failed. The reason is the simplistic natire of
SimplePatternBasedLicense that
matches a single line against a given string which is not good enough in this
case. Sure we could try to pick out
a single line like "Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person
obtaining " but what if people break
up the license differently.
I think for MIT (and likely the GPL, at least if we want to distinguish between
the different versions) something more
involved like the OASIS case is needed. I'll look into generalizing the OASIS
version.
