Afaics that works by applying a lidesc-specific stamp to each file, which does not replace our standard copyright&license notices, so I doubt it can be used to auto-check the licensing of an arbitrary project.

Anyway, as far as I am concerned I do not wish to spend time on this at the moment.

rms asked me to ask you if you could work on trying the lidesc program on savannah's gnu projects:
http://www.mibsoftware.com/librock/lidesc/

David Turner (licensing@gnu.org) said that it works on individual files, not trees.  So the main job is to write a find command (or whatever) to traverse a tree, exclude irrelevant files, and run lidesc on the result.  After compiling lidesc, that is.

If the program works well, we could recommend it to all GNU maintainers, one way or another.

Please let me know what you think ...

Thanks,
Karl
