Failing to extract license and copyright information from SVD files #933
Comments

Thanks for reporting. Manual line endings in a file with line endings seems odd, but I can see how this ensures line endings are preserved. An enhancement might be for all XML comment styles or even all files to handle these explicit '\n' line endings in addition to default line endings. |

Thank you for your time and contributions! Unfortunately, this issue has been inactive for quite a while which means we probably can't manage the time to deal with it. That's why we're marking it as stale. We want to keep things tidy and focus on active discussions, but we’re always happy to revisit if this is still relevant! If you’d like to keep this open, please add a comment to let us know and remove the label stale. Otherwise, this issue will most likely be automatically closed soon. |
Problem
Reuse does detect neither the copyright (
Copyright (c) 2010 - 2024, Nordic Semiconductor ASA All rights reserved.) nor the license (SPDX-License-Identifier: BSD-3-Clause) in nrf52840.svd.It seems like the "\n" at the end of each line causes the problem. For files without those line endings, e.g. nrf5340_network.svd, the detection oft the license and copyright works.
Hints
According to the example given by ARM, the inventor of CMSIS-SVD, seems to be the (a) proper way to encode line breaks. For this reason, I think REUSE should support it.
