I managed to add quite a few features today, I'm now checking detected authors against ICLAs using Apache JSON files. I'm first trying to match the name to these JSONs and if no match is found, I try to use the author email against a database of email -> real name (as stated in ICLA files) for known project members. This is needed because many times the author name (either from git or from header) is not the person's realname. At the same time, there are multiple possible emails (some automatically generated by github, or just because the user has multiple emails). At the moment I'm generating a final report to indicate if all authors have CLAs. I would now need to check also the copyright holders against CLAs (easy) and against SGAs from companies (do we have these also in JSON somewhere @justinmclean?). The final goal would be to check that if all these conditions match, a suggestion of "can be switched to apache header" becomes "true". I still don't know what will we do with files which existed in submodules. @gregory-nutt do you remember if at the very beginning (where "beginning" is a commit which exists in this repo) all files where part of the repo? It appears sometime submodules started to be used and then submodules where removed. So there's a part of the history where I can't access the file contents. But given that authors are never **removed** from headers, this should not be a problem (I just have to consider this case of non-accessible files). Anyway, here's an example output of parsing the `configure.c`: ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
