SpdxLicence

A software licence as SPDX writes it: MIT OR Apache-2.0.

Use it for a package's licence.

Shape

One value, held as text in one set form, with no parts: DocumentRef-spdx-tool-1.2:LicenseRef-MIT-Style-2.

Example

SpdxLicence("MIT OR Apache-2.0")

SpdxLicence(raw) checks the text, and text that isn't one breaks the format rule.

text.parse(raw, as: SpdxLicence) reads one from text that comes from outside. Text that isn't one at all fails malformed, such as mit, Apache-2 or MIT or Apache-2.0.

Good to know

• Each name is spelled as the SPDX list has it, so mit and Apache-2 are refused.
• == tells you whether two are the same. < and list.sort_by don't take it.

In JSON

A string, in a request, a response or json.write:

"MIT""Apache-2.0""MIT OR Apache-2.0"
