# String::License::Naming::SPDX(3pm)

licenses as named by SPDX

## NAME

String::License::Naming::SPDX - licenses as named by SPDX

## VERSION

Version v0.0.11

## SYNOPSIS

```
    use String::License::Naming::SPDX;
    my $spdx = String::License::Naming::SPDX->new;
    my $license = [ grep { /^(Expat|Perl)$/ } $spdx->list_licenses ];  # => is_deeply ['Perl']
```

## DESCRIPTION

String::License::Naming enumerates supported licenses matching an ordered set of naming schemes, or enumerates the names of supported license naming schemes.

Some licenses are known by different names. E.g. the license "MIT" according to SPDX is named "Expat" in Debian.

Some licenses are not always represented. E.g. "Perl" is a (discouraged) license in Debian while it is a relationship of several licenses with SPDX (and that expression is recommended in Debian as well).

By default, licenses are matched using naming schemes `"[ 'spdx', 'internal' ]"`, which lists all supported licenses, preferrably by their SPDX name or as fallback by an internal name.

## CONSTRUCTOR

- new

  Constructs and returns a String::License::Naming object.

  Includes all licenses defined by SPDX, and presents them by their SPDX shortname.

## FUNCTIONS

- list\_schemes

  Returns a list of license naming schemes in use.

- list\_licenses

  Returns a list of all licensing patterns covered by SPDX, each labeled by SPDX shortname.
