Is there a machine-readable list of open licences and urls?

Where can I find a machine-readable list of conformant licences and associated urls?

Found it! http://licenses.opendefinition.org

Handy resource :smiley: thanks

However, licenses.opendefinition.org isnā€™t up to date. The plan is to merge it with the main repo but I havenā€™t done anything towards that, see Merge https://github.com/okfn/licenses with this repo ... Ā· Issue #7 Ā· okfn/opendefinition Ā· GitHub

Thanks. I was looking for a resource to use in a drop down list asking the user to specify which open license they are applying. Any suggestions?

Whatā€™s involved in fixing issue #7? Perhaps I can help if itā€™s not too complex.

Given that the Frictionless Data specification requires an open licence, I think this issue is important to resolve. I donā€™t think I have the rights to address Issue #7 as proposed but can I address it within the current http://licenses.opendefinition.org implementation?

Hi @Stephen

The Frictionless Data specifications do not require an open license.

I believe the specification says otherwise, unless Iā€™m interpreting it incorrectly:

http://specs.frictionlessdata.io/data-package/#licenses

P.S. Broken link reported in #454

Thanks. This is a regression in the latest changes. Will fix.

Iā€™m going to have to look at it again in depth to see if it can be broken apart and there are easy parts. I assigned the issue to myself as a reminder. Feel free to bug me about it if I donā€™t follow up in the next couple weeks.
