| − | == What is liblicense? ==
| |
| | | | |
| − | 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.

| |
| − | * For a brief introduction video, check [http://blip.tv/file/1142312/ Asheesh Laroia talking about liblicense]
| |
| − | * To see '''liblicense in action''' take a look at [[License tagger]], the cross platform file metadata editor.

| |
| − | == Features ==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * Extract and write license information for files
| |

| − | * 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.

| − | === Developers: Using git ===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If you want to check out the source code and develop on it, use this command:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | git clone git://code.creativecommons.org/liblicense.git
| |
| − | git submodule init
| |
| − | git submodule update
| |
| − |
| |
| − | That should give you a working copy you can commit to. In case you wonder: the latter two commandsfill the directories
| |
| − | * icons/jurisdictions
| |
| − | * license.rdf
| |
| − | * licenses
| |
| − | with content from external repositories similar to ''svn:externals'' for Subversion.
