Low-level license metadata integration for applications.

liblicense provides a straight-forward way for developers to build license-aware applications. liblicense utilizes a pluggable module system for reading and writing metadata from specific file types, allowing extensibility for specific content types.

Features

  • Extract and write license information for files
  • Supports enumeration of available licenses
  • Wraps internationalized license information for Creative Commons licenses
  • Bindings for dynamic languages (currently Python and Ruby)
  • Extensible support for file types using module system
  • No specific GUI library dependency allows applications to build the graphical chooser most appropriate for their platform.
