Jilayne: We have a license expression builder in DejaCode, but this not open source. There are two parts to it: a front end in JavaScript and a back end that validates expressions and provides the licenses lists. The front end is implemented with Awesomeplete. The back end is dependent on the DejaCode models of course, but the validation of expression is something that will be released soon as open source in ScanCode. It is a parser that can interpret the logic of expressions and can normalize and convert expressions to their canonical forms, can minimize or reduce expressions and compare eventually very different but equivalent expressions for equality or containment. -- Cordially Philippe Ombredanne +1 650 799 0949 | pombreda...@nexb.com DejaCode : What's in your code?! at http://www.dejacode.com nexB Inc. at http://www.nexb.com _______________________________________________ Spdx-tech mailing list Spdx-tech@lists.spdx.org https://lists.spdx.org/mailman/listinfo/spdx-tech
