Verify integrity of licenses

Project description

This is a package for verifying that a license file in an open source project has not changed since distribution. Most licenses require inclusion of that license. This checks that it is the case.

Installation

$ pip install malicense

Setup

Your project must have a “LICENSE” file in the top directory of the package (not the project). You must take a snapshot of the license with:

$ malicense LICENSE.txt --snap

Then, git commit to save the snapshot placed in the new file .licsnap.

Usage

1: UNIX command line executable exits with code 2 if validation fails. In the package top directory:

$ malicense LICENSE.txt

2: from python:

import malicense
malicense.main(package, snap=False)
# or
malicense.main(licfilename='LICENSE.txt', snap=False)

where package is the top level directory. A recommended use is putting that code into an “__init__.py” file, as it is done in the malicense package.
