muster

A license scanning tool in Python! (still in early development...)

Goal: Replace OSLC version 3. We want to accept the same license file inputs and produce the same (or at least similar) outputs.

Why:

  • Because its written in Java and I don't know how to Java.
  • Because it looks to be abandoned upstream.
  • Because it has a number of language parsers in it which will suffer from bitrot.

We want to be able to scan arbitrary text files: both casually licensed source files and formal copies of full license texts.

Run the test suite

Run:

$ sudo dnf install detox
