Re: [Fedora-legal-list] FC12: rsync-3.0.6: GPLv2 and GPLv3 and GPLv3+ ?
Hi, Luis,
I'm primarily using the Ninka tool detailed in Dr. Daniel German's
(currently unpublished) paper, "A sentence-matching method for
automatic license identification of source code files." You can
download the paper here:
http://turingmachine.org/~dmg/papers/#sec-1.3
I'm also using Fossology's "fosslic" tool.
yours,
Julius

Hi, Julius-
Just curious- you seem to be doing a systematic scan of things here.
May I ask what tool you're using?
Thanks-
Luis
