REUSE Specification · SPDX License Expressions · Issues
ReuseLicensing.jl provides core infrastructure for working with REUSE and SPDX
licensing metadata in Julia projects. It parses SPDX license expressions, extracts
referenced licenses, exceptions, and LicenseRef-* identifiers, checks whether an
expression has an approved licensing path, and supports repository-level
verification workflows based on reuse lint --json and reuse spdx.
The package is intended as a small, reusable foundation for tooling that needs to reason about project licensing rather than merely copy license texts into a repository.
This package is under active development, and public APIs may still change.
