Inquiry of used_license result

[bjk7119]

Hello.
I would like to inquire about no license file because the 'file_report.spdxfile.licenses_in_file' value varies depending on the file extension.

the value of 'file_report.spdxfile.licenses_in_file' :

• .py file or .yaml file with no license : empty
• .xlsx file with no license : '-'

The values of 'file_report.spdxfile.licenses_in_file' are diffrent depends on the file extension
I'd like to ask if it's normal result to have different file extensions.

the following caputre is the log that I inserted to check result in 'report.py':

Thanks for the in-depth bug report. I tried reproducing it but I wasn't capable of doing so. I added the printing line in used_licenses() in report.py and created two empty spreadsheet files using LibreOffice, one in .ods and one in .xslx format. As that didn't result in the ['-'] output but just in [] I tried creating a spreadshit with some SPDX identifiers in it, but that didn't change the output.

Can you perhaps share a spreadsheet file that is causing the issue?

Looking through the code I would expect that extract_spdx_info() in _util.py is the function responsible for producing the '-' output.

I notice that you are actually working on the FOSSLight wrapper for REUSE. Perhaps there are other parts of the code that have changed and might alter the behavior? The -p flag is something on the whishlist for REUSE as well #512 so rather than going our own ways I hope we can collaborate to avoid duplicating efforts.

Could it be that fosslight_reuse is actually trying to parse the spreadsheet as an OSS-report? https://github.com/fosslight/fosslight_reuse/blob/main/src/fosslight_oss_pkg/_parsing_excel.py I only know about FOSSLight from a presentation I attended, so I might be missing some context.
