Many times ftp master reject a package because copyright of embedded
fonts are missing. It wuld be nice if licensecheck can find it before
the upload itself.

Hi Praveen,

Quoting Pirate Praveen (2016-09-16 06:34:29)

Thanks for reporting this!

This is already on my mental TODO-list (therefore thanks for making it
visible by this bugreport!): One of the reasons for my adopting and
refactoring licensecheck was to incorporate the extensions developed as
part of CDBS - including the /usr/lib/cdbs/license-miner which extracts
metadata from binary files like fonts and graphics files.

My current workaround for this no longer rely on CDBS, but essentially
does this:

1>&2 exiftool '-textOut!' %d%f.%e:meta -short -short -recurse -ext ttf .
licensecheck --copyright --deb-machine --recursive --lines 0 --check '.*' --ignore '.*\.ttf$' -- *
find -type f -name '*.ttf' -delete

My actual workaround scripts are tailored to each package, and typically
the one most detailed and most up-to-date is the one for ghostscript:
