Re: Licensing of licenses

Hello Jonas,

thank you for your comments. I do agree, I would say.

The point is "spdx2debian" works only if a project is 
100%-spdx-compliant. This is by design and won't change by me. With 
generating a d/copyright it would make the project less than 100% 
compliant and sabotages itself.

The decision about compliance goes to "reuse-tool" and is not the job of 
"spdx2debian".

Yes, I could extra code to exclude some specific files and then 
calculate the number myself. But that is out of scope of "spdx2debian" 
and also just a workaround because of behavior of an underlying tool.
It is not a matter of resources on my side, I'm just not willing to 
implement a complex workaround (ignore some files and do compliance 
calculation myself) for that situation. I hope we can come up with a 
more clear solution.

The CC0-1.0-None is also a dirty workaround but costs not much code 
currently. I am glad to remove it one day.

Because of that I would prefer a more general solution: If "reuse-tool" 
(and other linter-like tools) would adjust their behavior in this case.

I informed the maintainer of "reuse-tool" about this discussion. I also 
know from previous discussions that the reuse-project is quite open for 
adjustments.

Regards,
Christian
