Done. Here's what was created at github.com/git-pkgs/changelog:
Library (changelog.go) - 430 lines porting the Ruby gem's parsing logic:
Parse, ParseWithFormat, ParseWithPattern, ParseFile, FindChangelog, FindAndParse constructorsVersions(), Entry(), Entries(), Between(), LineForVersion() methodsTests (changelog_test.go) - 38 tests covering all Ruby gem test cases: format detection, all three formats with fixtures, custom patterns, Between method, LineForVersion edge cases (substring avoidance, range avoidance, v-prefix), prerelease/build metadata, markdown preservation, and the comprehensive fixture.
Infrastructure - CI workflow matching vers (Go 1.25, build/test/lint), zizmor workflow, MIT license, .gitignore, and README with usage examples.

Here's my findings: ## Organization README Location Found at: `/Users/andrew/code/git-pkgs/.github/profile/README.md` The organization README describes git-pkgs as a tool that tracks package dependencies across git history, working with 35+ package managers. ## All Directories in /Users/andrew/code/git-pkgs/ - .claude - .github (contains the organization profile) - .DS_Store - archives - changelog - demo - enrichment - foo2nix - forges - git-pkgs - gitignore - gittuf.md - homebrew-git-pkgs - managers - manifests - orgs - platforms - proxy - purl - registries - resolve - roadmap.md - spdx - testing - vers - vulns - website ## Go Module Repositories All 20 directories have go.mod files with the following module names: 1. `/Users/andrew/code/git-pkgs/vers/go.mod` - `github.com/git-pkgs/vers` 2. `/Users/andrew/code/git-pkgs/platforms/go.mod` - `github.com/git-pkgs/platforms` 3. `/Users/andrew/code/git-pkgs/registries/go.mod` - `github.com/git-pkgs/registries` 4. `/Users/andrew/code/git-pkgs/proxy/go.mod` - `github.com/git-pkgs/proxy` 5. `/Users/andrew/code/git-pkgs/resolve/go.mod` - `github.com/git-pkgs/resolve` 6. `/Users/andrew/code/git-pkgs/changelog/go.mod` - `github.com/git-pkgs/changelog` 7. `/Users/andrew/code/git-pkgs/managers/go.mod` - `github.com/git-pkgs/managers` 8. `/Users/andrew/code/git-pkgs/website/go.mod` - `github.com/git-pkgs/website` 9. `/Users/andrew/code/git-pkgs/archives/go.mod` - `github.com/git-pkgs/archives` 10. `/Users/andrew/code/git-pkgs/vulns/go.mod` - `github.com/git-pkgs/vulns` 11. `/Users/andrew/code/git-pkgs/orgs/go.mod` - `github.com/git-pkgs/orgs` 12. `/Users/andrew/code/git-pkgs/testing/go.mod` - `github.com/git-pkgs/testing` 13. `/Users/andrew/code/git-pkgs/foo2nix/go.mod` - `github.com/git-pkgs/foo2nix` 14. `/Users/andrew/code/git-pkgs/spdx/go.mod` - `github.com/git-pkgs/spdx` 15. `/Users/andrew/code/git-pkgs/enrichment/go.mod` - `github.com/git-pkgs/enrichment` 16. `/Users/andrew/code/git-pkgs/forges/go.mod` - `github.com/git-pkgs/forges` 17. `/Users/andrew/code/git-pkgs/manifests/go.mod` - `github.com/git-pkgs/manifests` 18. `/Users/andrew/code/git-pkgs/gitignore/go.mod` - `github.com/git-pkgs/gitignore` 19. `/Users/andrew/code/git-pkgs/purl/go.mod` - `github.com/git-pkgs/purl` 20. `/Users/andrew/code/git-pkgs/git-pkgs/go.mod` - `github.com/git-pkgs/git-pkgs` agentId: ae08483 (for resuming to continue this agent's work if needed) <usage>total_tokens: 17378 tool_uses: 26 duration_ms: 17496</usage>
I see the current list. Let me also check which of these repos are actually public/library modules vs internal tools, so I only add what belongs.

Based on the search results, here are Go libraries and tools for license detection and copyright detection similar to ScanCode:
google/go-licenses: A lightweight tool to report on the licenses used by a Go package and its dependencies.
google/licensecheck: Package licensecheck classifies license files and heuristically determines how well they correspond to known open source licenses.
src-d/go-license-detector: A reliable project licenses detector.
jfrog/go-license-discovery: A go library for matching text against known OSS licenses.
IBM/license-scanner: Supports flags for detecting copyrights, licenses, keywords, and other metadata with support for SPDX templates.
mitchellh/golicense: Scans and analyzes OSS dependencies and licenses from compiled Go binaries.
For comparison, ScanCode is the flagship FOSS license scanner and provides the most accurate license detection engine available in open source. ScanCode provides the most accurate license detection engine and does a full comparison between a database of license texts and your code instead of relying only on approximate regex patterns or probabilistic search.
REMINDER: You MUST include the sources above in your response to the user using markdown hyperlinks.
A few options, though nothing as complete as scancode:
google/licensecheck is probably the closest to what you want. It's a library (not just a CLI) that classifies license text by matching against known licenses. Used internally by the Go module proxy for license detection on pkg.go.dev. No copyright detection though.
go-license-detector from source{d} does file-level license detection using TF-IDF similarity against SPDX license texts. Good accuracy but the repo hasn't been maintained since ~2020 (source{d} folded).
IBM/license-scanner matches against SPDX license templates and has some copyright/keyword detection support. More active than go-license-detector.
jfrog/go-license-discovery is another matching library, from JFrog.
google/go-licenses and mitchellh/golicense are CLIs for scanning Go module dependencies specifically, not general-purpose file scanners.
None of them do copyright holder extraction the way scancode does. If you need both license and copyright detection in Go, you'd likely end up wrapping scancode or porting parts of it. Were you thinking of building something for git-pkgs?
any REUSE modules in go?

Based on the search results, I found information related to Go library modules and recent ecosystem trends, though the results don't contain specific information about a "REUSE specification" in the context of Go library implementation.
Here's what I found about Go modules and recent developments in 2025-2026:
The Go module system was introduced in Go 1.11 and is the official dependency management solution for Go. Go Modules is a versioned group of Go packages under one import prefix, defined by a go.mod file at root.
For creating reusable library code, Go has established conventions: If you think the code can be imported and used in other projects, then it should live in the /pkg directory. Go's strong emphasis on simplicity and clear dependency management via modules makes it incredibly powerful for building scalable applications. A crucial aspect of this is how you structure your codebase into packages. Properly organized packages not only improve read-ability and maintainability but also foster reuse and reduce build times.
The most widely used open-source Go libraries in 2025 are grouped by area of application. Go continues to be a top choice for adoption, as per the State of Developer Ecosystem Report 2025, 11% of all software developers are planning to adopt Go in the next 12 months.
If you're looking for information about a specific "REUSE specification" standard for Go modules, I recommend checking the REUSE Software initiative or the Go RFC (Request for Comments) repository, as the search results didn't return that specific information.

Based on the search results, here's what I found:
The Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) started REUSE in 2017 to make licensing easy, comprehensive, unambiguous, and machine-readable. This toolkit consists of a specification that standardises licensing, a tool that helps achieve and verify compliance with the specification, and documentation that helps developers through the process.
REUSE is a tool for compliance with the REUSE recommendations. REUSE makes adding copyright and licensing information as simple as possible, using industry-standard System Package Data Exchange (SPDX) tags that are easily parsed by many tools. Each file needs just two tags, one for copyright and one for licensing.
The core idea behind REUSE is really simple. First, choose and provide your licences. Second, add copyright and licensing information to each file. And finally, confirm REUSE compliance using the tool.
All original source code is licensed under GPL-3.0-or-later. All documentation is licensed under CC-BY-SA-4.0. Some configuration and data files are licensed under CC0-1.0.
Note: The search results did not specifically mention REUSE being written in Go/Golang. The REUSE tool itself appears to be a standalone compliance checking tool, while Go is a separate programming language used for various software licensing management libraries and tools.

Based on the search results, I found several Go/Golang libraries and tools related to SPDX copyright license headers:
Key findings:
google/addlicense - A program that ensures source code files have copyright license headers, with support for including SPDX identifiers in license headers. Available at https://github.com/google/addlicense
spdx/tools-golang - A collection of Go packages intended to make it easier for Go programs to work with SPDX files, supporting versions 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 of the SPDX specification. Available at https://github.com/spdx/tools-golang
mitchellh/go-spdx - A Go library for listing and looking up licenses using SPDX IDs. Available at https://github.com/mitchellh/go-spdx
github/go-spdx - An expression package that validates licenses and determines if a license expression is satisfied by a list of licenses, with validity determined by the SPDX license list. Available at https://github.com/github/go-spdx
src-d/go-license-detector - A command line application and library written in Go that scans directories for license files, normalizes and hashes them, with returned names following SPDX standard. Available at https://github.com/src-d/go-license-detector
For specifically parsing copyright license headers in source files, google/addlicense appears to be the most direct solution, while spdx/tools-golang provides comprehensive SPDX file handling capabilities.
REMINDER: You MUST include the sources above in your response to the user using markdown hyperlinks.
Doesn't look like it. The REUSE tool itself is Python, and I couldn't find a Go library that implements the REUSE spec (checking for SPDX headers in every file, .reuse/dep5 parsing, REUSE.toml, etc.).
The closest things in Go are tangential:
If you wanted REUSE compliance checking as a Go library you'd be building it from scratch. The spec itself isn't huge though -- it's mostly about finding SPDX-License-Identifier/SPDX-FileCopyrightText tags in files, falling back to .license sidecar files, and parsing REUSE.toml or .reuse/dep5. Were you thinking about adding REUSE support to git-pkgs?

ok yes lets make a reuse library in go, i've created a folder for it, it needs to be fully spec driven, ideally has the spec as a submodule for testing
The user wants to create a REUSE library in Go. Let me first understand the REUSE spec thoroughly, find the spec repo and any test suite, and then plan the implementation. This is a significant undertaking that warrants planning mode.
Entered plan mode. You should now focus on exploring the codebase and designing an implementation approach. In plan mode, you should: 1. Thoroughly explore the codebase to understand existing patterns 2. Identify similar features and architectural approaches 3. Consider multiple approaches and their trade-offs 4. Use AskUserQuestion if you need to clarify the approach 5. Design a concrete implementation strategy 6. When ready, use ExitPlanMode to present your plan for approval Remember: DO NOT write or edit any files yet. This is a read-only exploration and planning phase.
Let me start by exploring the REUSE spec, the folder the user created, and the existing git-pkgs patterns.
Excellent. Now let me compile all this information into a comprehensive summary for you. ## REUSE Specification Summary for Building a Go Library Based on my research, here's everything you need to know about the REUSE specification for implementing it in Go: ### Latest Specification Version **Current Version: 3.3** (released November 2024) The specification evolved through versions 3.0, 3.2, and 3.3. Version 3.3 implements IETF RFC 2119 for requirement level keywords (MUST, SHOULD, etc.). Previous format used .reuse/dep5; version 3.2 deprecated it in favor of REUSE.toml, which became standard in 3.3. ### Core Compliance Requirements To be "REUSE compliant," a project must satisfy three requirements: 1. **Choose and provide licenses** — All licenses used must be present in the `LICENSES/` directory as plain text files named `[SPDX-ID].[extension]` (e.g., `GPL-3.0-or-later.txt`) 2. **Add copyright and licensing information to each file** — Every file needs metadata with `SPDX-FileCopyrightText` and `SPDX-License-Identifier` tags 3. **Confirm with the REUSE tool** — The `reuse lint` command must pass without errors ### File Coverage Rules **Covered Files** (require licensing info): - All project files **Excluded Files** (no info needed): - Files in `LICENSES/` directory - Root-level `COPYING`, `LICENSE`, `LICENCE` files (with optional suffixes like `.md`) - Version control files (`.git/`, `.gitignore`, `.gitattributes`, etc.) - Submodules and Meson subprojects - `REUSE.toml` files themselves - Files in `.reuse/` directory - Symlinks and zero-byte files - SPDX documents ### SPDX Header Format Headers must be placed near the file top in comments and include: **Required elements:** - One or more Copyright Notices - One or more `SPDX-License-Identifier` declarations **Format:** ``` # SPDX-FileCopyrightText: [year] [copyright holder] <[optional contact]> # SPDX-License-Identifier: [SPDX expression] ``` For Go source files: ```go // SPDX-FileCopyrightText: 2024 Your Name <your.email@example.com> // SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT package main ``` **Copyright notice variations:** - `SPDX-FileCopyrightText` (recommended for files) - `SPDX-SnippetCopyrightText` (for code snippets) - `Copyright` or `©` symbols (alternative prefixes) All must include: year, copyright holder name, and optionally contact information. ### .License Sidecar Files For files that cannot include comments (binary files, images, etc.): **Purpose:** Creates an adjacent text file with licensing metadata **Naming:** `[original-filename].[extension].license` - Example: `cat.jpg.license` for file `cat.jpg` **Content:** Standard SPDX header format - One or more `SPDX-FileCopyrightText` lines - One or more `SPDX-License-Identifier` lines - UTF-8 encoding recommended **Note:** .license files can also be used with commentable files, but comment headers are preferred. ### REUSE.toml Format (Modern Standard) REUSE.toml is the modern replacement for deprecated .reuse/dep5. It's a TOML file placed in any project directory. **Required structure:** ```toml version = 1 [[annotations]] path = "src/**/*.go" SPDX-FileCopyrightText = "2024 Your Name <email@example.com>" SPDX-License-Identifier = "MIT" [[annotations]] path = "*.md" SPDX-FileCopyrightText = ["2024 Person A", "2024 Person B"] SPDX-License-Identifier = "CC-BY-4.0" precedence = "override" ``` **Key fields:** - `version = 1` (required, schema version) - `path` (required in annotations) — file patterns using `*` (single dir) and `**` (recursive) globbing - `SPDX-FileCopyrightText` (optional) — string or list of strings - `SPDX-License-Identifier` (optional) — valid SPDX license expression - `precedence` (optional) — determines priority: - `closest` (default) — prefers file-level info; uses nearest REUSE.toml if missing - `aggregate` — combines REUSE.toml with file-level information - `override` — closest REUSE.toml to project root is authoritative **Important:** REUSE.toml and .reuse/dep5 are mutually exclusive. You cannot use both simultaneously. ### DEP5 Format (.reuse/dep5) - Deprecated Located at `.reuse/dep5`, uses Debian copyright file format (version 1.0). Deprecated in favor of REUSE.toml but still supported. **Structure:** ``` Format: https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/ Upstream-Name: My Project Upstream-Contact: Name <email@example.com> Files: src/*.go Copyright: 2024 Your Name <email@example.com> License: MIT Files: docs/* Copyright: 2024 Your Name License: CC-BY-4.0 ``` **Note:** New projects should use REUSE.toml instead. The tool provides `reuse convert-dep5` to migrate legacy configurations. ### Snippet-Specific Licensing For code portions with different licensing than the file: **Required markers:** ```go // SPDX-SnippetBegin // SPDX-FileCopyrightText: 2024 Snippet Author <email@example.com> // SPDX-License-Identifier: Apache-2.0 // [code snippet here] // SPDX-SnippetEnd ``` ### Ignoring Irrelevant Content Wrap sections that shouldn't be parsed: ```go // REUSE-IgnoreStart // This code was auto-generated and licensing info shouldn't apply // REUSE-IgnoreEnd ``` ### Licensing Information Precedence When multiple sources declare licensing for a file, this priority applies: 1. `.license` companion files (highest priority) 2. REUSE.toml with `override` precedence 3. In-file comment headers (default) 4. Nearest REUSE.toml with `closest` or `aggregate` precedence 5. DEP5 (.reuse/dep5) ### Reference Implementation Structure The Python reference tool (fsfe/reuse-tool) demonstrates: **Core validation checks:** - License provision — verifies licenses exist in `LICENSES/` - File-level attribution — checks for proper SPDX headers - Specification conformance — overall project compliance **CLI Commands:** - `reuse lint` — Full project compliance check - `reuse lint-file <file>` — Check individual files - `reuse download <license-id>` — Download license texts - `reuse annotate <file>` — Add headers automatically - `reuse spdx` — Generate SPDX documentation (software bill of materials) - `reuse supported-licenses` — List available licenses - `reuse convert-dep5` — Migrate .reuse/dep5 to REUSE.toml **Source organization (GitHub: fsfe/reuse-tool):** - `src/reuse/` — Core implementation - `tests/` — Comprehensive test suite - `docs/` — Documentation - `LICENSES/` — License files - Multiple Python versions tested (3.10+) ### Available Test Resources **Example Repository:** [fsfe/reuse-example](https://github.com/fsfe/reuse-example) demonstrates: - Compliant branch (main) showing proper implementation - Non-compliant branch for comparison - C code with Makefile structure - Practical reference for all compliance patterns **Test Infrastructure:** - Unit tests in fsfe/reuse-tool/tests/ - Linting with pylint and mypy - Code formatting checks (black, isort) - Can be used as reference for Go implementation test cases ### Key Differences from DEP5 - REUSE.toml uses glob patterns instead of filename patterns - TOML format (human-friendly) vs Debian format - `version` field explicit in TOML - `precedence` field for multi-file handling - Can place REUSE.toml anywhere; DEP5 always at `.reuse/dep5` ### SPDX License Expression Support Both single and complex expressions: - Single: `MIT` or `GPL-3.0-or-later` - Multiple: `MIT OR Apache-2.0` (alternative licenses) - Complex: `(MIT AND Apache-2.0) OR GPL-3.0-only` - Custom: `LicenseRef-customlicense` (must be in `LICENSES/LicenseRef-customlicense.txt`) --- ## Sources - [REUSE Specification Version 3.3](https://reuse.software/spec-3.3/) - [REUSE Specification Version 3.2](https://reuse.software/spec-3.2/) - [REUSE Tool GitHub Repository](https://github.com/fsfe/reuse-tool) - [REUSE Example Repository](https://github.com/fsfe/reuse-example) - [REUSE FAQ](https://reuse.software/faq/) - [REUSE Developer Help](https://reuse.software/dev/) - [REUSE Tool Codeberg Repository](https://codeberg.org/fsfe/reuse-tool) - [FSFE REUSE Initiative](https://reuse.software/) agentId: a6b21c6 (for resuming to continue this agent's work if needed) <usage>total_tokens: 26815 tool_uses: 17 duration_ms: 145681</usage>
Perfect. Here's what I found: ## 1. /Users/andrew/code/git-pkgs/reuse/ folder The reuse folder exists but is completely empty - no files or subdirectories yet. Ready for you to build the new module. ## 2. Existing patterns from changelog module The changelog module at `/Users/andrew/code/git-pkgs/changelog/` shows the established patterns: **Go module structure (go.mod):** - Format: `module github.com/git-pkgs/[modulename]` - Go version: 1.25.6 (no dependencies in changelog's case) **Source file patterns (changelog.go):** - Comprehensive package-level documentation comment at the top, explaining the package purpose - Includes usage examples in the doc comment - Exports main functions like `Parse()`, `ParseFile()`, `FindAndParse()` - Defines exported types (`Entry`, `Format`) as structs/constants - Private regex patterns and helpers below the public API - Imports organized in standard library first - Clear separation between public API and implementation details **Test file patterns (changelog_test.go):** - Uses standard `testing` package (not rspec, not some testing framework) - Helper functions for test setup (like `mustReadFixture()`) at the top - Test functions follow `TestXxx()` naming convention - Tests use `t.Run()` for subtests when testing multiple behaviors - Tests load fixture data from a `testdata/` directory - Straightforward table-driven tests with clear error messages - Uses `t.Helper()` for helper functions - Direct assertions with error reporting rather than assertion libraries The project also includes a LICENSE file and README.md in each module. agentId: a9f5fd4 (for resuming to continue this agent's work if needed) <usage>total_tokens: 14226 tool_uses: 6 duration_ms: 8509</usage>
Let me now look at the REUSE spec repo more carefully to find the actual test suite, and understand the spec in more detail. I also need to check the reuse-tool's test fixtures and the spec repository structure.
Let me dig deeper into the spec repo and test suite before designing the plan.
Based on my research, here's what I found about the REUSE specification test suite and available resources for conformance testing: ## Summary of Findings **There is no standalone, dedicated "REUSE test suite" repository** that you can add as a git submodule in the traditional sense. However, the FSFE has created several resources for REUSE conformance testing: ### 1. **reuse-tool** (Primary Conformance Testing Tool) - **Location**: https://codeberg.org/fsfe/reuse-tool (canonical) / https://github.com/fsfe/reuse-tool (GitHub mirror) - **Purpose**: This is the main tool for testing REUSE compliance with the command `reuse lint` - **Contains**: A `tests/` directory with unit tests and test fixtures in `tests/resources/` - **Status**: The tool itself validates projects against the REUSE specification ### 2. **Example Repositories with Test Cases** The FSFE provides example repositories that serve as conformance test fixtures: #### **fsfe/reuse-example** - **Branches**: - `main` (compliant version) - `noncompliant` (non-compliant version) - **Location**: https://github.com/fsfe/reuse-example and https://git.fsfe.org/reuse/example - **Use**: Demonstrates proper REUSE compliance with both passing and failing examples #### **fsfe/reuse-tutorial-example** - **Branches**: - `compliant` - REUSE-compliant version - `non-compliant` - Version without proper copyright/licensing information - **Location**: https://codeberg.org/fsfe/reuse-tutorial-example - **Use**: Step-by-step example following the REUSE tutorial ### 3. **reuse-tool Tests Directory** Within the reuse-tool repository itself, there are test fixtures including: - Real-world projects tested during CI/CD (curl, SPDX license list, reuse-example) - Python test files validating the tool across multiple Python versions - Test resources in `tests/resources/` directory ### 4. **Submodule Considerations** The FSFE has documented how to handle submodules in REUSE (Issue #29 and #36 in reuse-tool/reuse-docs). The tool supports an `--include-submodules` flag for checking compliance in repositories with git submodules. ## Recommendation For your git submodule use case, I'd suggest: 1. **Use reuse-example or reuse-tutorial-example** as a reference/fixture repository - these have compliant and non-compliant branches that demonstrate test cases 2. **The reuse-tool itself** contains the conformance testing logic in its `tests/` directory 3. **Create your own test fixture repository** based on the patterns in reuse-example, with branches or separate projects representing compliant/non-compliant cases There isn't a single "test suite" repository designed specifically for submodule inclusion, but the combination of reuse-tool's test infrastructure and the example repositories provides the foundation for conformance testing.

Perfect. I now have the complete REUSE spec 3.3. Here are all the normative requirements extracted and organized for your spec-conformant implementation:
## 1. COVERED FILES vs EXCLUSIONS
**Covered Files:** All project files requiring Licensing Information
**Exact Exclusions (MUST NOT require licensing):**
- Files in `LICENSES/` directory
- `COPYING`, `LICENSE`, `LICENCE` files (with optional dash/dot metadata like `LICENSE-MIT`)
- Version control system files and directories (e.g., `.git/`)
- Files ignored by version control (`.gitignore` entries)
- Submodules and Meson subprojects
- `REUSE.toml` files
- Files in `.reuse/` directory (including `dep5`)
- Symlinks
- Zero-byte files
- SPDX documents per SPDX Specification Clause 4.4 (e.g., `sbom.spdx.json`)
## 2. SPDX TAG FORMATS
**SPDX-FileCopyrightText (in comment headers):**
```
SPDX-FileCopyrightText: 2019 Jane Doe <jane@example.com>
SPDX-FileCopyrightText: 2019 Example Organisation
```
**SPDX-License-Identifier (in comment headers):**
```
SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-3.0-or-later
SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT OR Apache-2.0
```
**SPDX-SnippetCopyrightText (within snippets):**
```
SPDX-SnippetCopyrightText: 2022 Jane Doe <jane@example.com>
```
**For Uncommentable Files (.license sidecar):**
Same tag format but in adjacent text file with `.license` extension (e.g., `cat.jpg.license`)
## 3. COMMENT HEADER DETECTION
**Comment Style Support:** Not explicitly enumerated in spec - implementation relies on file type association. Language-specific comment detection is handled by REUSE tool implementation.
**Positioning:** "SHOULD be as close to the top of the file as possible"
**Required Content in Headers:**
- One or more Copyright Notices (must have prefix)
- One or more `SPDX-License-Identifier` tag-value pairs
**Encoding:** UTF-8 recommended
**For Uncommentable Files:**
- Adjacent `.license` file required (same name + `.license` extension)
- `.license` file: plain text format, same tag format as headers
- `.license` files may also accompany Commentable Files (override headers if present)
## 4. REUSE.TOML SCHEMA (Version 1)
**File Location:** Any directory (covers files within or deeper)
**Required Fields:**
```toml
version = 1 # REQUIRED: Integer representing schema version (this spec describes v1)
[[annotations]]
path = "po/*.po" # REQUIRED: string or list of strings
precedence = "closest" # OPTIONAL: "closest" (default), "aggregate", or "override"
SPDX-FileCopyrightText = "2019 Jane Doe" # OPTIONAL: string or list
SPDX-License-Identifier = "GPL-3.0-or-later" # OPTIONAL: string or list
```
**Path Globbing Rules:**
- Forward slashes only (/)
- `*` matches everything except forward slashes (non-recursive)
- `**` matches including forward slashes (recursive)
- Escape asterisks: `\\*` (double-backslash in TOML)
- Escape backslashes: `\\\\`
- Paths resolve relative to `REUSE.toml` directory
- Must point to locations in `REUSE.toml` directory or deeper
- Non-existent or non-Covered File paths are ignored
**SPDX-FileCopyrightText Value:**
- String or list of strings
- Each must be valid Copyright Notice
- Prefix may be omitted (will be added automatically)
**SPDX-License-Identifier Value:**
- String or list of strings
- Each must be valid SPDX License Expression
**Additional Keys:** May include other keys (recommended: use existing SPDX tags) for additional information
**Multiple REUSE.toml Files:** Permitted across directories; VCS-ignored `REUSE.toml` files are NOT searched
**JSON Schema Available:** https://reuse.software/reuse-toml-v1.schema.json
## 5. .LICENSE SIDECAR FILES
**Format:**
- Filename: `[original-filename].license`
- Example: `image.jpg.license`, `script.bin.license`
- Must be plain text format
- Uses same SPDX tag format as comment headers
**Applicability:**
- Required for uncommentable files (non-text files, files without comment syntax)
- May optionally accompany commentable files for override
**Precedence:** `.license` files take precedence over file comment headers
**Content Rules:**
- Must contain one or more Copyright Notices
- Must contain one or more `SPDX-License-Identifier` tag-value pairs
## 6. PRECEDENCE RULES (EXACT ORDER)
1. **Adjacent `.license` Files (HIGHEST):** Takes precedence over commentable file's internal Licensing Information
2. **REUSE.toml with `precedence = "override"`:** Uses table's Licensing Information, ignoring closer information; closest `REUSE.toml` to project root is authoritative
3. **File Comment Headers or `.license` sidecar** (INTERMEDIATE): Licensing Information in file itself
4. **REUSE.toml with `precedence = "closest"` (DEFAULT):** Uses Licensing Information from Covered Files or adjacent `.license` files if available; falls back to closest `REUSE.toml`
5. **REUSE.toml with `precedence = "aggregate"`:** Always associates table's Licensing Information; also applies closest logic
6. **DEP5 in `.reuse/dep5` (DEPRECATED):** Aggregates with file comment headers; both SPDX License Expressions apply if they differ
**Multiple matching `[[annotations]]` tables in same REUSE.toml:** Only the FINAL matching table in file is used
**REUSE.toml and DEP5 Mutual Exclusivity:** MUST NOT use both simultaneously in same project
## 7. REUSE-IgnoreStart/REUSE-IgnoreEnd
**Purpose:** Exclude false positives - Licensing Information that appears in files but doesn't represent actual licensing (documentation, output examples, command strings, etc.)
**Usage:**
```
# REUSE-IgnoreStart
echo "SPDX-FileCopyrightText: $(date +'%Y') John Doe" > file.txt
echo "SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT" > file.txt
# REUSE-IgnoreEnd
```
**Critical Rule:** "This technique MUST NOT be used to ignore valid Licensing Information"
**Behavior:** Tool ignores all content between markers - no licensing information parsed within block
## 8. SPDX-SnippetBegin/SPDX-SnippetEnd
**Purpose:** Designate different licensing for specific portions within a file
**Format:**
```
# SPDX-SnippetBegin
# SPDX-SnippetCopyrightText: 2022 Jane Doe <jane@example.com>
# SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
print("Hello, world!")
# SPDX-SnippetEnd
```
**Required Content:**
- Copyright notice(s) using `SPDX-SnippetCopyrightText` prefix
- One or more `SPDX-License-Identifier` tag-value pairs
- Each opened snippet MUST be closed with `SPDX-SnippetEnd`
- Tags should be commented (language-dependent)
**Spec Reference:** Use SPDX snippet tags per SPDX Specification Annex H
## 9. LICENSES/ DIRECTORY STRUCTURE
**Location:** Must be at project root
**Naming Convention:** `LICENSES/[SPDX-License-Identifier].[extension]`
**Examples:**
- `LICENSES/GPL-3.0-or-later.txt`
- `LICENSES/MIT.txt`
- `LICENSES/LicenseRef-CustomLicense.txt`
**Content Requirements:**
- Plain text format only
- Contains full license text
- No unlicensed licenses (all licenses must be from SPDX License List or use `LicenseRef-[idstring]` format)
**Directory Contents Rule:** "The `LICENSES/` directory MUST NOT include any other files" - license files only
**Licensing Requirement:** "Project MUST include a License File for every license under which Covered Files are licensed"
**Unused Licenses:** No License Files for unused licenses permitted
**Exceptions:** Same rules apply; however, exceptions must exist in SPDX License List
## 10. REUSE COMPLIANCE - LINT CHECKS
A project is "REUSE compliant" when:
1. **Every Covered File has Licensing Information** via one of:
- Comment header with Copyright Notice(s) + SPDX-License-Identifier
- Adjacent `.license` sidecar file with same content
- REUSE.toml annotation entry
- DEP5 entry (deprecated)
2. **Copyright Notice Format Validation:**
- Must start with `SPDX-FileCopyrightText`, `SPDX-SnippetCopyrightText`, `Copyright`, or `©`
- Must contain copyright holder name
- Should contain year and contact address
3. **SPDX-License-Identifier Validation:**
- Must be valid SPDX License Expression
- Supports simple IDs: `MIT`, `GPL-3.0-or-later`
- Supports expressions: `MIT OR Apache-2.0`, `(MIT AND GPL-2.0-or-later)`
4. **License Files Coverage:**
- Every license identifier found in Covered Files has corresponding License File in `LICENSES/`
- File named correctly: `LICENSES/[SPDX-ID].txt` (or other extension)
- License Files contain plain text
- `LicenseRef-*` custom licenses must also have files
5. **LICENSES/ Directory Purity:**
- Contains only license files
- No other content
6. **REUSE.toml Validity (if present):**
- Must be valid TOML
- Must have `version = 1` key
- All `[[annotations]]` tables have required `path` key
- `precedence` values are only: `closest`, `aggregate`, `override`
- `SPDX-FileCopyrightText` and `SPDX-License-Identifier` are valid
- Valid glob patterns (forward slashes, `*`, `**`)
7. **DEP5 Validity (if present - deprecated):**
- Located at `.reuse/dep5`
- Valid Debian copyright format 1.0
- All entries have `Files:`, `License:`, and `Copyright:` tags
- No DEP5 if REUSE.toml exists (mutually exclusive)
8. **Snippet Validity:**
- Every `SPDX-SnippetBegin` has matching `SPDX-SnippetEnd`
- Snippets contain Copyright Notice(s) and License Expression
- Proper nesting (no interleaving)
9. **No Critical Omissions:**
- No uncommentable files without `.license` sidecars
- No files with only Copyright Notice (missing License)
- No files with only License (missing Copyright)
10. **Ignore Blocks Correctness:**
- `REUSE-IgnoreStart` and `REUSE-IgnoreEnd` are paired and properly nested
- Not used to ignore valid Licensing Information
This is the complete normative specification for REUSE 3.3 compliance.

Let me look at the actual test fixtures in the reuse-tool to understand the test structure, and check the spec repo for a formal test suite.
Perfect! Now I have a comprehensive understanding. Let me provide you with a detailed report of the test fixtures and implementation structure:

## Summary of REUSE Repositories Exploration
Based on my investigation, here's what I found:
### 1. Repository Status
**Note:** The requested `https://github.com/fsfe/reuse-spec.git` does not exist as a separate repository. However, the REUSE specification is available at reuse.software/spec-3.3/.
**Available repositories:**
- `fsfe/reuse-example` - Example repositories demonstrating REUSE compliance
- `fsfe/reuse-tool` - The main REUSE compliance checking tool
### 2. REUSE Example Repository Structure
**Location:** `/tmp/reuse-example`
**Branches:**
- `main` - REUSE compliant version
- `noncompliant` - Non-compliant version (no licensing metadata)
**Compliant branch (`main`) structure:**
```

- No SPDX headers in source files
### 3. REUSE Tool Test Suite
**Location:** `/tmp/reuse-tool/tests/`
**Test structure:**
- **20 test modules** organized by functionality

### 4. REUSE Specification Overview
**Current version:** 3.3
**Key conformance requirements:**
1. **License Files**
- Location: `LICENSES/` directory in project root
- Naming: `LICENSES/[SPDX-ID].txt` (e.g., `LICENSES/GPL-3.0-or-later.txt`)
- Format: Plain text
2. **File Metadata**
- Source files: SPDX headers in comments
- Binary files: Separate `.license` files
- Format: `SPDX-FileCopyrightText: [year] [holder]` + `SPDX-License-Identifier: [license]`
- Custom licenses: `LicenseRef-[idstring]`
3. **Global Licensing (two options)**
- `.reuse/dep5` - Debian copyright format
- `REUSE.toml` - Modern TOML-based format (see `/tmp/reuse-tool/REUSE.toml` for example)
4. **REUSE.toml Format Example**
```toml
version = 1
[[annotations]]
path = "doc/*"
precedence = "override"
SPDX-FileCopyrightText = "2017 Jane Doe"
SPDX-License-Identifier = "CC0-1.0"
```
### 5. Potential Git Submodule Options
For testing REUSE compliance:
1. **Option A:** `fsfe/reuse-example` as a submodule
- Provides both compliant and non-compliant test cases
- Two branches for contrast testing
- Small repository, suitable for submodule
2. **Option B:** `fsfe/reuse-tool` (tests/resources/fake_repository)
- Already has comprehensive test fixtures
- Can extract and use `tests/resources/fake_repository` as a separate test fixture
- Contains more complex scenarios (multiple licenses, exceptions, custom licenses)
3. **Best approach:** Use `fsfe/reuse-example` as primary submodule (demonstrates REUSE spec clearly), and optionally extract test fixtures from `reuse-tool` for more complex test cases.

<usage>total_tokens: 39675
tool_uses: 50
duration_ms: 132167</usage>The user is saying they're more interested in the parsing side - extracting SPDX headers, copyright notices, license identifiers from files, parsing REUSE.toml, parsing .reuse/dep5, etc. Not as much the linting/CLI/VCS integration side.
Let me now read the key Python source files to understand the parsing logic, then design a plan focused on the parsing library.
Good to know - parsing focus, not linting/CLI. Let me read the key Python source files for the parsing logic.
Now let me look at the vers package's license, workflow files, and README for the patterns to copy.
Good. Now I have a thorough understanding of the parsing logic. Let me design the plan.

Now let me write the plan file.
User has answered your questions: "The REUSE.toml parser needs a TOML library since Go has no stdlib parser. Which do you prefer?"="BurntSushi/toml (Recommended)", "Should the library validate SPDX expressions using your existing git-pkgs/spdx package, or just store them as raw strings?"="Raw strings only". You can now continue with the user's answers in mind.
Now let me look at the vers package for LICENSE, workflow files, and README patterns.
Good - BurntSushi/toml and raw strings for SPDX expressions. That keeps dependencies minimal. Let me update the plan accordingly.
The user doesn't want to proceed with this tool use. The tool use was rejected (eg. if it was a file edit, the new_string was NOT written to the file). STOP what you are doing and wait for the user to tell you how to proceed.

Let me start by understanding the existing patterns in the codebase by looking at sibling packages (purl, vers, spdx) and the Ruby gem source code. Let me explore in parallel.
Now let me check if there's a zizmor config in any of the other packages.
I'll start by examining the existing sibling packages for patterns and the Ruby gem for the logic to port.
Good. Now I have everything I need. Let me create the changelog directory and all the files.
