Hi,

I would like to know how do you perform the license analysis in ohloh. I'm developer of winlibre package manager and in analysis it appears that we have some code licensed under LGPL, which is not the case (or I don't know). Thanks for your answer

Ohcount does this (http://labs.ohloh.net). It's open source so you can contribute to it if you like.

Hi Bertrand,

We found LGPL in the the following files:

/WinLibreNG/pylibre/urlgrabber/byterange.py
/WinLibreNG/pylibre/urlgrabber/grabber.py
/WinLibreNG/pylibre/urlgrabber/__init__.py
/WinLibreNG/pylibre/urlgrabber/keepalive.py
/WinLibreNG/pylibre/urlgrabber/mirror.py
/WinLibreNG/pylibre/urlgrabber/progress.py
/WinLibreNG/pylibre/urlgrabber/sslfactory.py
/WinLibreNG/urlgrabber/byterange.py
/WinLibreNG/urlgrabber/grabber.py
/WinLibreNG/urlgrabber/__init__.py
/WinLibreNG/urlgrabber/keepalive.py
/WinLibreNG/urlgrabber/mirror.py
/WinLibreNG/urlgrabber/progress.py
/WinLibreNG/urlgrabber/sslfactory.py

From browsing the source code, this appears to be correct -- it look like there really is LGPL there.

Mitchell's correct; we use the ohcount tool to detect these licenses.

Thanks, Robin

I have got it. I have added link to our old subversion repository. At this time we used a library that was LGPL. Totally forgotten it.

Thanks a lot for the information
