Abstraction over the SPDX License List
use License::SPDX;
my $l = License::SPDX.new;
if $l.get-license('Artistic-2.0') -> $license {
pass "licence is good";
if $license.is-deprecated-license {
warn "deprecated licence";
}
}
else {
flunk "not a good licence";
}
This provides an abstraction over the SPDX License List as provided in JSON format. Its primary raison d'être is to help the licence checking of Test::META and to allow for the warning about deprecated licences therein.
The intention is to update this with a new license list (and up the version,) every time the SPDX list is updated.
Assuming that you have a working Rakudo Raku compiler you should be able to install this using zef :
zef install License::SPDX
# Or from a local clone
zef install .
This is a very simple module, but if you have any suggestions or patches etc please send them to https://github.com/jonathanstowe/License-SPDX/issues
This is free software, please the LICENCE in the distribution.
