From 23f3a90fddb0c2aaa60efc0f15340a7a59b95699 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sahil Lenka Date: Sun, 18 Jan 2026 21:45:51 +0530 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] Add nixpkgs license clarity analysis - Fixes #1940 Implement automated license issue detection and reporting for Nixpkgs packages. Features: - Automatically detect incorrect license declarations - Determine correct licenses with confidence scores - Apply nixpkgs-specific rules for diverse tech stacks - Flag packages and detections needing review - Generate comprehensive license reports Implementation: - scanpipe/pipes/nixpkgs.py: Core license analysis utilities (13 functions) - scanpipe/pipelines/analyze_nixpkgs_licenses.py: Automated pipeline - scanpipe/tests/test_nixpkgs.py: Comprehensive test suite (16 tests) Detection capabilities: - Missing/invalid license declarations - License mismatches (declared vs detected) - Ecosystem-specific license validation (Python, Rust, Node.js, Go, etc.) - Copyleft compliance issues - License file inconsistencies - Ambiguous detections requiring review Output stored in project.extra_data with severity levels (error/warning/info) and automated suggestions for corrections.
