Software Heritage — License Blob Dataset

Author: Stefano Zacchiroli
Contact: zack@upsilon.cc

WARNING: you are looking at an old version of this dataset. A newer version is available at: ../latest/.

Description

This dataset contains all "license files" extracted from a snapshot of the Software Heritage archive taken on 2021-03-23. (A long-term archival version of this dataset is also available from Zenodo).

In this context, a license file is a unique file content (or "blob") that appeared in a software origin archived by Software Heritage as a file whose name is often used to ship licenses in software projects. Some name examples are: COPYING, LICENSE, NOTICE, COPYRIGHT, etc. The exact file name pattern used to select the blobs contained in the dataset can be found in the SQL query file 01-select-blobs.sql. Note that the file name was not expected to be at the project root, because project subdirectories can contain different licenses than the top-level one, and we wanted to include those too.

Format

The dataset is organized as follows:
