Incorrect. Those legalnotice tags should contain the "boost[\\s\\W]+software[\\s\\W]+license" text and hence will be inspected. Hence why you example above is pertinent.
Ok, please have a look at: http://www.boost-consulting.com/boost/libs/thread/doc/thread.xml What if someone removes the <legalnotice> section in this file (or rewords it to whatever he pleases)? My guess is that inspect will not report a failure then because there's still the XML comment. I've not actually found an example for such a problem but then again I haven't looked that hard. This problem, together with the broken license propagation of the doc tools, seems to suggest that inspect would best also check the generated HTML.
What am I missing?
That the doc tools are broken with regards to propagating license+copyright. :-)
No, I got that, at least after your second answer. The doc tools need some fixing too. -- Andreas Huber When replying by private email, please remove the words spam and trap from the address shown in the header.
