# SPDX License List

Provides the SPDX License List as a Python dictionary

Data source: [spdx/license-list-data](https://github.com/spdx/license-list-data)

Originally designed as a replacement for [Michael Pöhn's spdx-license-list](https://gitlab.com/uniqx/spdx-license-list) but does not have the same API

## Installation

```console

pip install spdx-license-list

```

## 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](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.en.html)

- **osi_approved** (*bool*) - license is [OSI-approved](https://opensource.org/licenses)

`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
