Liblicense
Revision as of 17:47, 4 March 2008 by Nathan Yergler (talk | contribs)
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.
Future Improvements
- Supports verification URLs for metadata verification
