[bnanda2006]

I am getting license as unknown for dependencies in my project even tough those dependencies are having proper licenses

e.g.

            "version": "v1.6.0",
            "licenses": [
                "unknown"
            ],
            "license_links": "",
            "homepage": "github.com/spf13/afero",
            "install_path": "/Users/bhavuknanda/go/pkg/mod/github.com/spf13/[email protected]",
            "package_manager": "Go"
        },
        {
            "name": "github.com/xdg-go/pbkdf2",
            "version": "v1.0.0",
            "licenses": [

We have created an issue in Pivotal Tracker to manage this. Unfortunately, the Pivotal Tracker project is private so you may be unable to view the contents of the story.

The labels on this github issue will be updated when the story is started.

I have the same problem with NPM (version 8.13.2), whether JSON or HTML formatting. But with Nuget it seems to work.

Hey @bnanda2006 ! I looked into this and I think the apache license was being too string on matching. I tweaked it and we will see if it goes through tests successfully #933
