API

spdx_license_list.LICENSES is a dictionary of all the licenses.

The dictionary uses the identifier (id) as the keys, and the values are (typed) named tuples with the following attributes:

• id (str) - short identifier to identify a match to licenses in the context of an SPDX file, a source file, or elsewhere
• name (str) - full name that should be the title found in the license file or consistent with naming from other well-known sources
• deprecated_id (bool) - idendifier is deprecated
• fsf_libre (bool) - license is listed as free by the FSF
• osi_approved (bool) - license is OSI-approved

spdx_license_list.EXCEPTIONS is a dictionary of all the license exceptions.

The dictionary uses the identifier (id) as the keys, and the values are (typed) named tuples with the following attributes:

• id (str) - short identifier to identify a match to license exceptions in the context of an SPDX file, a source file, or elsewhere
• name (str) - full name that should be the title found in the license file or consistent with naming from other well-known sources
• deprecated_id (bool) - idendifier is deprecated
