Open Source License Information
Trusty displays license information for open source packages, when available. It’s displayed as a tag on the package information page, summarizing license information.
You can click on the tag to view more details.
To help developers make decisions about which packages to use, Trusty displays additional information like the package license’s Blue Oak level, which helps identify its level of permissiveness. It also lists whether or not the license is approved by the Open Source Initiative.
Sourcing License Information
Trusty pulls license information for packages from the package manager. For example, for Python packages, Trusty pulls license information from a Python package’s repository on PyPI. If information is not available in the package manager, Trusty will also check for a license file in the package’s source code repository.
If no license information is displayed, this can mean two things:
- No license information is available for the package
- The package does not have a license
