Dear Maintainer,

I have a source file with this comment in it:

/*!
 * \ingroup BlackOilSimulator
 *
 * \brief This class calculates the threshold pressure for grid faces according
to the
 *        Eclipse Reference Manual.
 *
 * If the difference of the pressure potential between two cells is below the
threshold
 * pressure, the pressure potential difference is assumed to be zero, if it is
larger
 * than the threshold pressure, it is reduced by the threshold pressure.
 */

If I run lcr on the source package containing it then it thinks that this file
is licensed under EPL because of the word Eclipse appearing in the comment.

Kind regards,

Markus

Hi Markus,

I assume you are referring to
   opm/simulators/flow/FlowThresholdPressure.hpp
in package
  opm-simulators ?


The comment does say;

"This class calculates the threshold pressure for grid faces
according to the Eclipse Reference Manual"

and as the Manual is licensed under EPL, this does not seem
unreasonable to me to show the file license as "EPL and/or GPL-2+".

That is what licensecheck reports. (You could report the bug there)


Note, you can override this by adding a debian/lrc.config
file to the package. [Attached]

I suggest adding a comment to it (prefix with #).


Regards,
Peter

Thanks for reporting this.

It seems that the word Eclipse, case sensitive, the first word on a line and
followed by white-space is sufficient for licensecheck to detect license
as including EPL.
It should surely need the whole phrase "Eclipse Public License"?


Regards,
Peter
