Allegedly scancode is the best option for that, but it isn't in Debian. I think decopy/licensecheck are the best ones already in Debian. https://wiki.debian.org/CopyrightReviewTools https://github.com/nexB/scancode-toolkit/ Personally I afterwards manually review each file and check all of the details, since the Debian archive admins will be doing that anyway. I find that a keyboard-driven file manager like mc works for this. > decopy spotted one file (usr/share/icons/Mint-X/apps/96/miro.svg) with > license "CC-BY", I tried a search for found the specific license used > but I not found, in mint-theme instead for example about a license doubt > I went to look for the origin and I found it and solved it > (https://salsa.debian.org/cinnamon-team/mint-themes/-/commit/dcf71951df39f326ea9057d39095f7e94926bf19), > regarding this file, however, the site mentioned inside no longer exists > and therefore I have not found a certain answer. All the sites mentioned in that commit work for me: https://github.com/shimmerproject/Greybird https://shimmerproject.org/ > there are also some other files with "creative common" found inside it > with a grep but that was not spotted by decopy and also in these there > aren't details on the exact license Might be worth filing bugs on decopy about these missing detections. As Andrew says, best ask upstream about any unclear licenses. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
