New CLI options:

  • A new CLI option --package-only has been added which performs
    a faster package scan by skipping the package assembly step and
    also skipping license/copyright detection on package metadata.

Major API/other changes:

  • Output Format Version updated to 3.1.0 (minor version bump)
  • Drops python 3.7 and adopts python 3.12
  • New license match attributes:
    • from_file
    • matched_text_diagnostics is added for --license-text-diagnostics
  • In codebase-level license_detections we have a new attribute
    reference_matches
  • SPDX license expressions everywhere side-by-side with ScanCode
    license expressions.
  • All rule attribute level data provided in codebase level todo items.

Changes in Output Data Structure:

  • The data structure of the JSON output has changed for
    licenses at file level, and license detections at top-level.
    But note that all the changes are additions to the JSON output,
    so we have a minor version bump 3.0.0 to 3.1.0:

    • There is a new attribute from_file in matches which is in
      license_detections in:

      • File level license_detections
      • Codebase level license_detections
      • license_detections and other_license_detections in
        file-level package_data
      • license_detections and other_license_detections in
        codebase level packages
    • On using the CLI option --license-text-diagnostics there is
      now a new license match attribute matched_text_diagnostics
      with the matched text and highlighted diagnostics, instead of
      having this replace the plain matched_text.

    • A new reference_matches attribute is added to codebase-level
      license_detections which is same as the matches attribute
      in other license detections.

    • We now have SPDX license expressions everywhere we have
      ScanCode license expressions for ease of use and adopting
      SPDX everywhere. A new attribute license_expression_spdx
      is added to:

      • license_detections in file and codebase level
      • in package license_detections and other_license_detections
      • matches for license_detections everywhere
    • Adds all rule atrribute level info in codebase level todo
      data, to assist in review. This includes length, text, notes,
      referenced_filenames, and the boolean attributes (like
      is_license_notice, is_license_intro etc, as applicable).

  • New and updated licenses, including support for newly released
    SPDX license list versions:

    • SPDX License List 3.22:
      This release of the SPDX license list had 48 new licenses,
      and several of them we already had as licenses/rules, and
      these has been modified to be consistent with the SPDX list.
      And the rest have been added as new licenses.
      For more details see #3554

    • SPDX License List 3.23:
      This release of the SPDX license list had 43 new licenses,
      and out of them 22 were present as licenses and 10 were
      present as rules already. There were 4 new license/exception
      texts added, and the rest were either texts with small variations,
      additions to texts or several rule texts together.
      For more details see #3653

    • We also have lots of other misc new licenses and rules added to
      LicenseDB, see PRs below for more details:
