Efcore: LICENSE.txt not detected by Licensee

[austindrenski]

The license file for this repository is not detected by GitHub for display on the repository page, in search results, etc.

We recently noticed and were able to fix this for Npgsql by adjusting some formatting required by Licensee.

It looks like LICENSE.txt is non-standard by design, but wanted to raise this in case it was just overlooked.

Maybe try to apply exactly what we did for the Npgsql repo?

@Eilon Thoughts?

Hmm we were told in no uncertain terms to use exactly this block of text for the license, with no changes whatsoever. I'll ask around if we can change it to something that would "detect" more easily, but maybe the thing doing the detection could also be updated?

In case this helps, in some communication with github support I was told to do the following:

Clone the licensee repo: https://github.com/benbalter/
cd into the licensee folder and run bundle install
Use the git-repo script with a repo URL: ./script/git-repo https://github.com/aspnet/EntityFrameworkCore

Apparently they require a 98% match. In my case part of the problem turned out to be line breaks :/

[Eilon]

98% match? Sounds like an episode of CSI or something!

Forensic licensing is the new hot thing...

Have you tried enhancing it :)

Closing this issue in favor of https://github.com/aspnet/Home/issues/3483, because this issue applies to almost every repo in the 'aspnet' org. (Yes, this issue is older, sorry!)

[Eilon]

OK I fixed EF Core:

Now I'll go fix the other repos. Thanx!
