Week 10 Meetings and Activities

Weekly Project Sync Meeting 10​

(July 28, 2026)

Attendees​

Discussion​

  • Discussed maintainer feedback that the license expression PR history was difficult to review.
  • Planned to place Akash's original PR commit first and apply new GSoC work on top.
  • Reviewed how to preserve the final code while changing only commit history.
  • Continued LicenseLynx planning.
  • Discussed adding LicenseLynx population as a separate postinstall step.
  • Reviewed whether LicenseLynx fallback should be ScanCode-specific or centralized.
  • Agreed that a shared resolver would be cleaner for future scanner integrations.

Activities Done in Week 10​

  • Rebuilt the license expression branch history for reviewability.
  • Placed Akash's original license expression commit as the base commit.
  • Reapplied the current parser, scanner, UI, API, report, and comparison work on top.
  • Verified that the reorganized branch produced the same final diff as the working branch.
  • Reduced the branch into a clearer structure for maintainer review.
  • Continued regression validation planning for OJO and Nomos.
  • Designed the simplified licenselynx_map table.
  • Planned the bundled LicenseLynx mapping file under install/db.
  • Added the idea of a separate --licenselynx postinstall flag.
  • Started designing a centralized C++ license reference resolver.

Next Steps​

  • Run original OJO and Nomos test suites on the reorganized expression branch.
  • Confirm that expression-specific tests are clearly documented for maintainers.
  • Implement LicenseLynx mapping import and resolver logic in a separate branch.
