Me neither. A "virtual debian-legal" would be something that analyzed
licenses:
$ debian-legalint COPYRIGHT.foo
COPYRIGHT.foo:33: warning: mentions specific protocol standard
COPYRIGHT.foo:57: talks about "best efforts" to contact upstream
COPYRIGHT.foo:64: US export control laws
$ echo $?
1
$ debian-legalint /usr/share/common-licences/GPL && echo success
success
$ debian-legalint xterm
/usr/share/doc/xterm/copyright:557: warning: obnoxious BSD advertising clause
/usr/share/doc/xterm/copyright:571: warning: obnoxious BSD advertising clause
$
While such a tool would certainly be useful, I'm afraid that it is
an AI-complete problem.
