Feature changed by: Hendrik Vogelsang (hennevogel) Feature #306579, revision 10 Title: Make rpm licenses publically available Requested by: Juergen Weigert (jnweiger) Description: I'd like to offer a decoder for the rpm license strings for public. I suggest to use the website license.opensuse.org to offer a) a searchable list of licenses showing * short name (as used in rpm packages) * Long descriptive Name * License Fulltext (by reference and or local copy) b) A decoder engine explaining in plain english what a given rpm license string means.Including dual, mix, aggregate qualification. c) a validator for rpm license strings. Use Case: customer could decipher syntax customer can access license fulltext. zypper and yast could offer a more detailled view of the licenses. Discussion: #1: Stephen Kellat (skellat) (2009-06-27 23:44:16) Would there be a way to tie this into Zypper and Yast's software management module? #2: Juergen Weigert (jnweiger) (2009-06-29 11:58:54) (reply to #1) Good idea. We could easily offer a JSON-RPC service for this. #3: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) (2010-02-20 11:42:56) I fail to see the connection to OBS for this feature. Hand over to Henne. + #4: Hendrik Vogelsang (hennevogel) (2010-02-20 14:00:42) + This is already available no? Jürgen? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306579
