lein-licenses

A Leiningen plugin to try to detect the license of each of your dependencies.

Please note that this is just a heuristic and can result in inaccurate readings.

This project is not under active development; if you wish to make a contribution please email me and I can move this repository to a new host to make further changes.

Installation

If you are using Leiningen 2.7.0+, put

[lein-licenses "0.2.2"]

into the :plugins vector of your :user profile.

For leiningen < 2.7.0, use version "0.2.0".

Not compatible with Leiningen 1.x.

Usage

Run lein licenses in your project directory.

Pass :csv or :edn to change output format:

lein licenses :edn

Lookup order

1. pom.xml inside the jar, including <parent> declarations.
2. <artifact>.pom file, including <parent> declarations.
3. License files (LICENCE, LICENCE.txt, etc) inside the jar.
4. fallbacks.edn in the project directory.

Fallbacks

Fallbacks are only used if all other locations failed.

Example fallbacks.edn file could be found in the examples directory.

License name normalisation

Since license names don’t have any specific format, it’s not uncommon to get different names for the same license. Normalisation mechanism checks each license string against a map of synonyms defined in synonyms.edn, and returns a canonical license name on match.

Example synonyms.edn is available in examples directory.
