Identified licenses lists

The UnlicenseUnlicense

License List

This the full text of free/open licenses.

The intention of this collection is to be useful, wherever the original text is needed. (i.e. information, free/open documentation, license tools, license choosers and application help)

Master branch

Master branch contains the full text of free/open licenses.

The repository originated from SPDX license list, for convenience of identification, but it has nothing else in common with their list, and it doesn't contain non-free/open licenses.

Please file an issue or a patch if you consider that any non-free/open license sneaked in.

The selection for this branch is based on:
  • any domain of human knowledge: software, writing, design (content), data and databases, hardware, and not limited to.
  • conformance with the Four Freedoms, and/or Open Source Definition, and/or the Open Definition.
  • well known and used in at least one visible community, today or in the past.

The initial immediate use for this branch is license projects such as License Database.

Use it as you see fit.
