We have Contributor License agreements as licenses/rules in scancode and we should consider if we report these instead as license_clues instead of adding them in license_detections proper.
The steps discussed related to this are:
- decide on a case by case basis if some CLA's are more like proper license detections or they are license clues.
- if a CLA is decided as a license clue, add
is_clue as True for the corresponding rules for that CLA
- break rules containing CLA's and other proper license expressions such that all CLA rules are standalone.
- report license matches to CLA's in
license_clues
We also have detections of CLAs here in the license report contributed by Porsche AG OSO w.r.t discussion in ORT community meeting on scancode false positives.
Also see #2877 for the discussion of adding is_clue flag to rules, w.r.t different cases.
These are some CLAs in scancode licenses:
