A large-scale dataset of (open source) license text variants
Stefano Zacchiroli · 2022
We introduce a large-scale dataset of the complete texts of free/open source software (FOSS) license variants. To assemble it we have collected from the Software Heritage archive---the largest publicly available archive of FOSS source code with accompanying development history---all versions of files whose names are commonly used to convey licensing terms to software users and developers.
