Mô tả
In a recent scan of tika-parsers-1.28.5-sources.jar the text "under CDDL/LGPL dual license" was not detected as a choice of `cddl-1.0 OR lgpl-2.1-plus` but instead returned `unknown-license-reference` based on a match with just the "dual license" part as detected using unknown-license-reference_318.RULE. The file in question is at
/org/apache/tika/parser/code/SourceCodeParser.java
The code context is:
/**
* Generic Source code parser for Java, Groovy, C++.
* Aware: This parser uses JHightlight library (https://github.com/codelibs/jhighlight) under CDDL/LGPL dual license
*
* @author Hong-Thai.Nguyen
* @since 1.6
*/
I checked the JHighlight project on GitHub and the COPYING file states:
It is distributed under the terms of either:
- the common development and distribution license (CDDL), v1.0; or
- the GNU Lesser General Public License, v2.1 or later
If possible, it would be nice if the license detection process would resolve this situation to `cddl-1.0 OR lgpl-2.1-plus` .
I am of the opinion (arguable of course) that just CDDL can be interpreted as cddl-1.0 and just LGPL can be interpreted as lgpl-2.1-plus, since those are very commonly found in such cases.
