# License Library

idk why i putted all this together in plaintext but here we are. literally spent way too much time hunting for clean `plaintext` official versions for projects so just dumped them here so u dont have to...

### what is this?

Basically just folders with the `LICENSE` files inside. got MIT, Apache, and way too many GNU / CC variants. Tried to keep it clean...

also threw some metadata files (`.csv`, `.json`, `.jsonl`) in the `metadata/` folder in case u wanna automate stuff OR just check word counts for no reason and SPDX links without wasting time on Google. saved you a search

### The List

Here's exactly what's in there:

### why bother?

Because searching for the "official" version of a license shouldn't be a chore.

Enjoy. Or don't. It's just text...\
