Bug#1059907: licensecheck: Please use correct case for BSD-2-Clause & BSD-3-Clause

Show all headers | View raw

Package: licensecheck
Version: 3.3.9-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream
X-Debbugs-Cc: peter@pblackman.plus.com

Dear Maintainer,

licensecheck outputs BSD licenses as BSD-2-clause & BSD-3-clause,
but the SPDX short-names use title case with upper case C
as in BSD-2-Clause & BSD-3-Clause.
https://spdx.org/licenses/

While the detected license is still clear,
this causes case sensitive comparisons by license-reconcile & 
licenserecon to fail.

Please use the official SPDX short-names for these licences.

It may be possible to fix this by changing the relevant strings in this 
source file
https://sources.debian.org/src/libstring-license-perl/0.0.9-2/t/license.t/


Regards,
Peter
