David Crossley commented on RAT-7:
----------------------------------
Here are some modified snippets from those Perl scripts:
--------
AL-20 = Apache License 2.0 with original Copyright line.
AL-20a = Apache License 2.0 with original Copyright line and "or its licensors".
AL-20b = Apache License 2.0 with no Copyright line, i.e. the current style.
AL-20x = same as AL-20b but missing the word "contributor". (That was due to a
mistake that i made, and only discovered a few days later. Hopefully no-one but
Forrest/Cocoon used the script during that time.)
F-AL-20 = If not one of the above, then assume it is someone else using AL-20.
AL-12 = Apache Software License Version 1.2
F-AL-12 = someone else using AL-12.
AL-11 = Apache Software License Version 1.1
F-AL-11 = someone else using AL-11.
AL-10 = Copyright The Apache Group
--------
LICENSE_CASE: {
if ($headContent =~ /Licensed .* Apache Software Foundation \(ASF\) under/) {
if ($headContent !~ /contributor license agreements\.[ ]+See the NOTICE/) {
# detect an error with a previous version of this script
$licenseType = "AL-20x";
}
else {
$licenseType = "AL-20b";
}
last LICENSE_CASE;
}
if ($headContent =~ /Licensed under the Apache License.*Version 2.0/) {
if ($headContent =~ /Apache Software Foundation or its licensors/) {
$licenseType = "AL-20a";
$warnAL20aOldLicense = 1;
}
else {
if ($headContent =~ /Copyright.*Apache Software Foundation/) {
$licenseType = "AL-20";
$warnAL20OldLicense = 1;
}
else {
$licenseType = "F-AL-20";
}
}
last LICENSE_CASE;
}
if ($headContent =~ /The Apache Software License.*Version 1.2/) {
if ($headContent =~ /Copyright.*Apache Software Foundation/) {
$licenseType = "AL-12";
}
else {
$licenseType = "F-AL-12";
}
last LICENSE_CASE;
}
if ($headContent =~ /The Apache Software License.*Version 1.1/) {
if ($headContent =~ /Copyright.*Apache Software Foundation/) {
$licenseType = "AL-11";
}
else {
$licenseType = "F-AL-11";
}
last LICENSE_CASE;
}
if ($headContent =~ /Copyright.*The Apache Group/) {
$licenseType = "AL-10";
last LICENSE_CASE;
}
}
--------
Improvements:
* Needs to handle double-justified text, hence multiple whitespace. Ignore
whitespace.
* Pattern matching needs to be multi-line.
* Perhaps need to handle "[Tt]he Apache".
> RAT should distinguish the different AL header versions

> Project: RAT
> Issue Type: Bug

> RAT currently does not seem to care which version of the AL header is present.
> This is a bit misleading; IMO it should distinguishe between current AL and
> obsolete AL headers.
