Ohloh gets licensing information wrong
Ohloh says about SysCP (http://www.ohloh.net/projects/syscp/analyses/latest):
GNU Library or Lesser
GPL 356 files
PHP License 70 files
GNU General Public License 2.0 5 files
However, syscp (1.2) is completelly gpl2, which seems bigger than 5 files (and yes, the have a GPL header). The LGPL and PHP stats seem to fit syscp-1.3 (devel version).
For reference, see http://svn.syscp.org/trunk/syscp{,-1.3}.
Hope someone can shed some light into the missing files (or adjust license scanner to find those?)
Regards
Evgeni
Hi Evgeni,
There's a couple of issues here.
First, the Ohloh report appears to include many, many copies of several versions of syscp. The entire /trunk (which includes two complete version) and all /branches were included.
This makes it a little hard to sort out the licensing issues.
I suggest removing both of these directories from Ohloh, and replacing them with a single link to either /trunk/syscp or /trunk/syscp-1.3.
On the license front, it looks like the problem is that Ohloh does not recognize GPLv2
as a license citation. GPL
or GPL v2
would have worked. I will add GPLv2
to our list of recognized license keys.
Once I make the change, we will need to recount the project code for it to take effect.
Thanks,
Robin
Hi Robin,
thanks for your reply.
I removed the branches now, so we have only trunk with syscp and syscp-1.3. Will talk with the main devs if we want to show the devel 1.3 version here too.
Thanks for making the change, I'm waiting for the recount and will tell you whether the numbers will make more sense then.
Regards
Evgeni
