Description

Description of the new feature/enhancement

If we see something like License: Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation in the default locale or other locale manifests, the automation should add the https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/labels/Manifest-Metadata-Consistency with reason stating that a copyright is not a license.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Regex case insensitive match against the following patterns:

  • Copyright
  • (c)
  • ©
  • All rights reserved

...(not exhaustive, but this should cover most cases)

Research direction

Start with the Area-Validation-Pipeline automation that checks default and other locale manifests, then trace how metadata-consistency labels and reasons are produced. Add case-insensitive detection for the listed copyright patterns in License values. Done when matching manifests receive the label with a reason explaining that copyright is not a license.
