Add or test all licenses in https://github.com/okfn/licenses

[pombredanne]

We likely have most, but we need 1. tests, 2. add rules 3.eventually add new licenses

@pombredanne In this site(http://licenses.opendefinition.org/licenses/groups/all.json) there are more than 90 licenses . How do you want to go about it ? I know most of them are available in scancode but still running scans manually is a huge task .Right?

[pombredanne]

@starlord1311 I think that @SaravananOffl is working on it, though you could split up the work alright

IMHO

1. fetch the licenses such to have a text for each
2. add these as a test
3. for the one that do not pass the test, add a new rule, or a new license

@pombredanne I'm thinking of writing a python script to get(i.e to scrap) the name of each license from the json file(http://licenses.opendefinition.org/licenses/groups/all.json).This method could certainly reduce the tasks for us.

@SaravananOffl Are you done with the script ?
