Missing Copyright in License

Open b-abel opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

The license file does not contain the Copyright owner (and years). It only contains the placeholder Copyright {yyyy} {name of copyright owner}. This causes compliance check tools (e.g. https://www.mend.io/) to fail.

@b-abel thanks for the heads up.

We use Apache's license template. We had amended license text variants in place causing all sorts of deviations in license scanner tools alerting we would use a proprietary license and not ASLv2.

If you read the section you flagged closely, it talks about

APPENDIX: How to apply the Apache License to your work.

Line 190, Copyright {yyyy} {name of copyright owner} is the beginning of the boilerplate notice.

That being said, you might want to circle back to your compliance check tool vendor and asking them to fix their check.
