# lein-licenses

A Leiningen plugin to try to detect the license of each of your dependencies.

Please note that this is just a heuristic and can result in inaccurate readings.

This project is not under active development; if you wish to make a contribution please email me and I can move this repository to a new host to make further changes.

## Installation

If you are using Leiningen 2.7.0+, put 
```clojure
[lein-licenses "0.2.2"]
```
into the `:plugins` vector of your `:user` profile.

For leiningen < 2.7.0, use version `"0.2.0"`.

Not compatible with Leiningen 1.x.

## Usage

Run `lein licenses` in your project directory.

Pass `:csv` or `:edn` to change output format:

```
lein licenses :edn
```

## Lookup order

1. `pom.xml` inside the jar, including `<parent>` declarations.
2. `<artifact>.pom` file, including `<parent>` declarations.
3. License files (`LICENCE`, `LICENCE.txt`, etc) inside the jar.
4. `fallbacks.edn` in the project directory.

## Fallbacks

Fallbacks are only used if all other locations failed.

Example `fallbacks.edn` file could be found in the `examples` directory.

## License name normalisation

Since license names don’t have any specific format, it’s not uncommon to get different names for the same license.
Normalisation mechanism checks each license string against a map of synonyms defined in `synonyms.edn`, and returns a canonical license name on match.

Example `synonyms.edn` is available in `examples` directory.
