From 40751c6c9bea6a5cfede7c61ee5f3cb1ab857029 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nishanth Menon Date: Wed, 7 Jul 2021 15:48:40 -0500 Subject: scripts/spdxcheck.py: Strictly read license files in utf-8 Commit bc41a7f36469 ("LICENSES: Add the CC-BY-4.0 license") unfortunately introduced LICENSES/dual/CC-BY-4.0 in UTF-8 Unicode text While python will barf at it with: FAIL: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 2109: ordinal not in range(128) Traceback (most recent call last): File "scripts/spdxcheck.py", line 244, in spdx = read_spdxdata(repo) File "scripts/spdxcheck.py", line 47, in read_spdxdata for l in open(el.path).readlines(): File "/usr/lib/python3.6/encodings/ascii.py", line 26, in decode return codecs.ascii_decode(input, self.errors)[0] UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 2109: ordinal not in range(128) While it is indeed debatable if 'Licensor.' used in the license file needs unicode quotes, instead, force spdxcheck to read utf-8.
