License Alias Metrics
Summary
Sometimes licenses are aliased under a different name. For example, Eclipse Distribution License v1.0 is actually an alias for BSD-3-Clause
. Such cases require special handling within pmdb
.
We should design a system that will enable us to find these proactively.
Current state
No metrics are available from PMDB
Proposal
Create a simple metric that aggregates license names that are non-SPDX into a graph.
This will enable actionable insights into the most common license name.
