Can we add an interpretation of MIT variants, i.e.

• MIT-X
• MIT-style

Remove the aliases for an existing licenses that has a version (Apache 1, 2 | GPL 1, 2, 3 | MPL 1, 2 .... and so on) but the alias does not have one.

Example. "GNU General Public License" cannot be assumed to be any of the GPL versions. So all "unversioned" aliases like this need to be removed.

Can we add an interpretation of "CDDL-1" and "CDDL-v1"?

Write tests to check if a license like GPL (without version) is present in GPL-[123]*.json

Can we add an interpretation of PSF, i.e.

• Python-2.0

Suggestion to meta information

• organization
• author

This way a user can chose licenses as submitted by a particular organization.

Add to x11-keith-packard

"AFLv2" (Yocto)

Either a license should be supported by the osadl_matrix or have a compatibility_as that is

Add function to check this.

Add a markdown formatter

Can we add an interpretation of "LGPLv2", i.e.

• LGPL-2.0-only, or
• LGPL-2.1-only

Add disclaimer in repo
Add link to the disclaimer in license JSON files

Add WITH

• with
• w/
• WITH

Today you invoke licensecheck as:flame license "MIT and BSD3" (note the ")
Allow for flame license MIT and BSD (no ")

Can we add an interpretation of "MPL-1" and "MPLv1"?

List all data, including link to spdx and scan code db. For all licenses

--license l - limits to only output data for license l

The following command's output is incorrect:

$ flame compat "x11-keith-packard and Apache Software License, Ve rsion 2.0 | mit"
(LicenseRef-flame-x11-keith-packard AND Apache-2.0) OR MIT

should be:

$ flame compat "x11-keith-packard and Apache Software License, Ve rsion 2.0 | mit"
(HPND AND Apache-2.0) OR MIT

License aliases are supposed to be replaced longest in size first.

Current solution (license_db.py):
for needle in reversed(collections.OrderedDict(sorted(needles.items()))):
does not do that. Replace the above with:
for needle in reversed(collections.OrderedDict(sorted(needles.items(), key = lambda x : len(x[0])))):

and things should be fine

Add options to:

• check if licenses are supported by OSADL's matrix e.g. after doing `flame compat x11-keith-packard and BSD3 || GPLv2+"``
• verify license expression (after above)
