LicenseLynx for Python
To use LicenseLynx in Python, you can call the map method from the LicenseLynx module to map a license name to its canonical form.
The return value is an object with the canonical name and the source of the license.
Installation
To install the library, run following command:
pip install licenselynx
Usage
from licenselynx.licenselynx import LicenseLynx
# Map the license name
license_object = LicenseLynx.map("licenseName")
print(license_object.id)
print(license_object.src)
# Map the license name with risky mappings enabled
license_object = LicenseLynx.map("licenseName", risky=True)
Organization Licenses
Organizations can register internal/proprietary license identifiers that are kept separate from OSS licenses.
To look up an organization license, pass the org parameter:
from licenselynx.licenselynx import LicenseLynx
from licenselynx import Organization
# Map a license name within an organization
license_object = LicenseLynx.map("licenseName", org=Organization.SIEMENS)
The LicenseSource enum is also available for inspecting the source type:
from licenselynx import LicenseSource
Helper methods on the returned license object:
# Check if the license comes from any organization
license_object.is_organization_source() # returns True if from any org
# Check if the license comes from a specific organization
license_object.is_organization_source_of(Organization.SIEMENS) # returns True if from Siemens
