Package Information

Descriptionanalyze text to determine what type of license it contains (library)

The license classifier is a library and set of tools that can analyze text to determine what type of license it contains. It searches for license texts in a file and compares them to an archive of known licenses. These files could be, e.g., LICENSE files with a single or multiple licenses in it, or source code files with the license text in a comment.

A "confidence level" is associated with each result indicating how close the match was. A confidence level of 1.0 indicates an exact match, while a confidence level of 0.0 indicates that no license was able to match the text.

This is a substantial revision of the license classifier with a focus on improved accuracy and performance.

Comment: The top level is the v1 module, which nothing in Debian uses; only
 the v2 module in v2/ is packaged.

License: licence-texts
 Verbatim copies of licence texts, headers and notices (one licence per
 directory, the directory named after it), used as the corpus the classifier
 matches against. They are data for detecting those licences, not terms
 under which this package is distributed. They include texts of non-free
 licences and proprietary agreements, shipped as detection data (see
 debian/README.source).
