Examining Evidence of Open-Source Copyrights, Email Addresses, URLs, Licenses, and Search Terms in a Given Non-Binary File
You can view open-source or third-party evidence of copyrights, URLs, licenses, email addresses, or search terms (or a combination of these) as highlighted within the content of a given non-binary file.
To view copyright, email, URL, and license content in a file, do the following:
| 1. | Open the Analysis Workbench for the desired project. (For instructions, see Opening the Analysis Workbench.) |
| 2. | In the Codebase Files pane or File Search Results pane, select the codebase file containing the evidence you want to review. (Optionally, to make file selection easier, you can filter the codebase files to only those containing a specific type of evidence. See Using the Filter Legend Options to Filter the Codebase.) |
| 3. | Click File Details. |
| 4. | Select the Partial Matches tab to show the contents of the file. |
Color-coded selection boxes at the top of the Partial Matches tab are used to indicate the type of evidence you want to highlight in the file. (Based on your screen size, labels on these selection boxes might not be visible. In this case, hover over a box to see its label.) Depending on the types of evidence existing in the file, certain selection boxes might already be selected; others might be disabled.
| 5. | If necessary, select (or unselect) one or more selection boxes to highlight the evidence you want to view in the file. For example, the following selections will highlight instances of copyright, email, URL, license, and search-term evidence in the file: |
Considerations for Viewing License Evidence
When a given source or text file in the Codebase Files list contains license evidence (as indicated by a green icon 
in the file entry and by the one or more licenses listed on Evidence Summary tab), the Partial Matches tab usually shows the specific evidence for each license highlighted in green within the file content. However, the following exceptions can occur:
| • | Licenses are detected but not highlighted in the file—Cases can occur during a scan when a license is discovered in the scan results and listed on the Evidence Summary tab, but no associated license text is highlighted on the Partial Matches tab. The lack of highlighting occurs because the scanner is unable to calculate the offsets for license text it cannot explicitly identify in the file. |
| • | All content is highlighted, including large sections of non-license-related text—If a file containing license evidence uses a non-supported file extension, all content in the file is highlighted in green, including large sections of non-license-related information. (This is different from the scenario in which all or nearly all the content in a file is the license text, and thus the entire file is highlighted as such.) |
