The Fedora Extras license auditThe Fedora Extras license auditPosted Jan 31, 2007 19:24 UTC (Wed) by gerv (subscriber, #3376)Parent article: The Fedora Extras license audit
I have a script which looks for certain types of license; I used it in the Mozilla relicensing. It's probably both overly-complex and not featureful enough for this, but it should be possible to tell with a pretty good level of reliability what the licence block on a set of files is.
Another way you could use it is duplicate removal. Particularly for the GPL and similar licenses (not the MPL) where the boilerplate doesn't change, you could have a script which says "Hey, there are these 7 different boilerplates somewhere in this package. Please check they are all OK." Much easier than going through thousands of files by hand.
