Updates

The package does not fetch the licenses automatically during runtime. Whenever a new license is published, a new version of this package has to be published as well. Don't worry, this isn't a complicated task, it doesn't even take a minute to regenerate all files.

I try to update the package by myself (you just have to add the latest version to the pubspec), but if I'd ever miss a release, please open a new enhancement request to make me aware. Thank you.

Usage

Using this package is pretty straight forward. Create a new License object, and that's it. Now you can read all the properties. A list with all available licenses can be found here: https://spdx.org/licenses

var license = License("APACHE-2.0");
print("Name: ${license.name}");

The constructor throws a UnknownLicenseException if the license is unknown. This can be use to validate licenses.

var licenseId = "Funky-1.2"; // This license does not exist
try {
    License(licenseId);
    print("License $licenseId valid");
} on UnknownLicenseException {
    print("License $licenseId unknown");
}
