Hello,
SVG files sometimes contain licensing information, for example [1]:
<cc:Work
rdf:about="">
<dc:format>image/svg+xml</dc:format>
<dc:type
rdf:resource="http://purl.org/dc/dcmitype/StillImage" />
<cc:license
rdf:resource="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/GPL/2.0/" />
<dc:title>Hard disk</dc:title>
<dc:creator>
<cc:Agent>
<dc:title>Luca Ferretti <elle.uca at libero.it></dc:title>
</cc:Agent>
</dc:creator>
<dc:contributor>
<cc:Agent>
<dc:title>Shape based on exising PNG icon in
gnome-icon-theme</dc:title>
</cc:Agent>
</dc:contributor>
<dc:subject>
<rdf:Bag>
<rdf:li>hard disk</rdf:li>
</rdf:Bag>
</dc:subject>
</cc:Work>
<cc:License
rdf:about="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/GPL/2.0/">
<cc:permits
rdf:resource="http://web.resource.org/cc/Reproduction" />
<cc:permits
rdf:resource="http://web.resource.org/cc/Distribution" />
<cc:requires
rdf:resource="http://web.resource.org/cc/Notice" />
<cc:permits
rdf:resource="http://web.resource.org/cc/DerivativeWorks" />
<cc:requires
rdf:resource="http://web.resource.org/cc/ShareAlike" />
<cc:requires
rdf:resource="http://web.resource.org/cc/SourceCode" />
</cc:License>
It would be nice if licensecheck could extract license and copyright
owner from this file. To do so, XPath analysis should be sufficient.
Best,
Andrius
