license-detector

A License information detector, inspired by Licensee and relies on data from choosealicense.com

Installation

Using Composer run the following

$ composer require sycho/license-detector

Problem

The code uses php's similar_text() function to tell which license is the one used, the function is quiet expensive and can take up to one second for the results.

Usage

Using the Detector class's parse() or parseByPath() methods, you get a License object containing data about the license

require '...\vendor\autoload.php';

use LicenseDetector\Detector;

$detector = new Detector();

// By license contents
$license = $detector->parse($contents);

// By file path
$license = $detector->parseByPath($path_to_license);
