Feature request: specify package licenses #4

Open promovicz opened 6 years ago

It would be great if you could also determine the license of packages that you list.

I've found a lot of school/university projects do not even specify a license, and that is quite a no-go for almost any opensource or professional use.

Very good point, thank you - I will peer throw the projects already listed once get some spare time.

@promovicz Hi Ingo, I plan soon to update all entries with license badge automatically extracted via https://shields.io/category/license - but exactly as you pointed out, it will be likely for majority of projects unspecified. I do not want to extract license manually as is lot of work and may change and our manual entry will become obsolete. Do you have any better idea how to figure license out?

promovicz commented 4 years ago

@petrs GitHub can often figure out the license correctly. It's not unlikely that this is exposed in the GitHub web API. I had good success using some Python client library for it at some point.

@promovicz ok, worth of try - I'm now thinking about using "official" license as set by owner, followed by estimation obtained by different means - thank you for hint
