@AJDurant Thanks!

@DennisClark FYI

This is a notice example https://github.com/xceedsoftware/wpftoolkit/blob/5a8bbe7895792f6cd7fa6a76b77f9330e996d6a6/ExtendedWPFToolkitSolution/Src/Xceed.Wpf.Toolkit/Utils/Exceptions/ThrowException.cs

@XceedBoucherS FYI the plan is to include this in the licensedb and can detect this with ScanCode toolkit. I assume there is no objection since this is a public document

Hello @pombredanne,
What is the issue exactly ? You are trying to add a community license ?
What is licenseDB and ScanCode toolkit ?
Thank you

[pombredanne]

@XceedBoucherS The licenseDB is a database of mostly all licenses and is published at https://scancode-licensedb.aboutcode.org/

And this is stored in and used by ScanCode-toolkit (which I like to think as the industry open source license detection tool) to detect license texts and notices as seen in code.

The actual licensedb data are stored there https://github.com/nexB/scancode-toolkit/tree/develop/src/licensedcode/data/licenses
Scancode Toolkit is at https://github.com/nexB/scancode-toolkit and the web app project based on and using ScanCode toolkit is at http//scancode.io and https://github.com/nexB/scancode.io/

The issue is a request by @AJDurant to add your Xceed Community license to the LicenseDB. I want to make sure that there is no objection on your side since you published this. This would mean that folks using your code would be able to detect that your code is under your license and therefore comply more efficiently with your license terms.

Hi @pombredanne ,
Thank you for the explanation.
No, there are no objection to add the Xceed Community license to the LicenseDB. You can add it.
Thank you
