许可 API 返回有关热门开源许可的元数据,以及有关特定项目许可文件的信息。
许可证 API 使用开源 Ruby Gem 许可来尝试识别项目的许可。 被许可人将项目 LICENSE
文件(如果有)的内容与已知许可的简短列表相匹配。 � 此,API 不考虑项目依赖项的许可或其他记录项目许可的方式,例如对文档中许可名称的引用。
如果许可匹配,则返回的许可密钥和名称符合 SPDX 规� �。
注:这些端点还将返回仓库的许可信息:
GitHub 有很多功能, 但它不是律师事务所。 � 此,GitHub 不提供法律建议。 使用许可 API 或向我们发送电子邮件并不构成法律意见,也不形成律师-客户关系。 如果您对特定许可可以做什么和不能做什么有任何疑问,您应该在继续之前先咨询自己的法律顾问。 事实上,在做出任何可能具有法律后果或影响您合法权利的决定之前,您都应该咨询自己的律师。
GitHub 创建了许可 API,旨在帮助用户获取有关开源许可以及使用它们的项目的信息。 我们希望它有帮助,但请记住,我们不是律师(至少大多数人不是),像其他人一� �,我们也会犯错。 � 此,GitHub“按原� �”提供 API,对提供或通过其提供的任何信息或许可不做任何保证,并对使用 API 所� 成的损害不承担责任。
