SPDX license list database

spdx

A Python module incorporating an interface to the SPDX license database.

This library serves purely as a holder for the database that can be found on the SPDX website.

To more easily query this database or detect licenses, consider using something like spdx-lookup.

Usage

See the spdx/__init__.py file for the very simple interface.

tl;dr: spdx.licenses() gets you the licenses, and spdx.License is a nice wrapper for interacting with them.

spdx-python's Issues

Update to SPDX 3.2

SPDX 3.x has been out for some time, and several licences have been deprecated:

• there's no "+" at the end of license identifiers anymore, they are replaced with explicit "-only" or "-or-later" suffixes.
• licenses that handled exceptions to a common licence are deprecated in favor of the "WITH" keyword.

More at https://spdx.org/licenses/ on the "Deprecated Licenses" paragraph.

Package namespace conflicts with the SPDX Python tools

Hi Brendan:
I am the maintainer of the SPDX Python tools at https://github.com/spdx/tools-python and while this was a bit dormant we are restarting activity. You own the spdx name at Pypi and I have no issue with that, I will pick another package name for the tools proper. But one thing that would be great is if we can agree on sharing the spdx namespace for python modules which could mean some (minor) code changes here since you have some code in you __init__.py. Is that something you could consider? that would be very nice!

Alternatively we could also discuss joining forces... Your call.
