Hi Andreas, The copyright-ferretting code was developed by me as a part of the DFSG toolset - initially we were using SilverSearcher hunting for regular expressions, but there are many ways that was getting too many false positives and yet still not finding many things. Now that I am home again (I had an excellent post-debconf holiday in Argentina, Brazil and Peru :-) I am hoping to split this out into a standalone tool. Also, now that recent GR is in our past, I can contribute it to Debian. You can see the code for it here: https://salsa.debian.org/dfsg-team/dfsg-new-queue/-/blob/main/cmd/dnq/author_check.go?ref_type=heads Cheers, Andrew. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Porirua, New Zealand +64 (27) 288 6741 https://andrew.mcmillan.net.nz Men love to wonder, and that is the seed of science. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- debian-science-maintainers mailing list [email protected] https://alioth-lists.debian.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/debian-science-maintainers
