  • id (str) - short identifier to identify a match to licenses in the context of an SPDX file, a source file, or elsewhere
  • name (str) - full name that should be the title found in the license file or consistent with naming from other well-known sources
  • deprecated_id (bool) - idendifier is deprecated
  • fsf_libre (bool) - license is listed as free by the FSF
  • osi_approved (bool) - license is OSI-approved
