License classifier & templates

[jayvdb]

license is used to fill the setup(license='...'), but classifers also contains a license classifier.

It would be useful to add a license classifier automatically based on license, at least for the common ones.

http://pypi.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction=list_classifiers

My list is AGPL-3.0, GPL v3 & MIT.

Also worth using license to populate a LICENSE file, but may be better done with some new voodoo in moban rather than a single LICENSE.jj2 .

I thought this license issue would be brought in the future. Yeah, truly that there are plenty of open source licenses out there. Let me get your list included at least.

[jayvdb]

Like the gitignore solution, we should import a maintained list of licenses.

#22

As the licenses are not likely to be in jinja format, we'll probably need a new template engine for them.

SPDX would be the preferred list.
I've asked for help at https://gitter.im/spdx-org/Lobby?at=5b179555b6eece791de2a03c

https://github.com/github/choosealicense.com/pull/489/files#diff-8d75fca200f1454e59f02d85f55bebcdR1 shows a fairly basic approach to converting spdx to a simpler language.

Maybe better to support that initiative, then use the github license list with a custom template language

[jayvdb]

'Master':
https://github.com/spdx/license-list-XML/tree/master/src

Derived:
https://github.com/spdx/license-list-data

Not sure:
https://github.com/spdx/license-list

[jayvdb]

My current plan of attack is to try to use a Genshi text template that loads the SPDX 'master' xml files to render the license.

If that works, I'll do moremoban/moban#45 .

It could probably also be done in jinja with custom globals plugins.
(Will also try Mako using python blocks.)

[jayvdb]

It turns out mako isnt supported yet either, and I suspect that the engine loading mechanism will get a re-write after moremoban/moban#23 as that will introduce lml, so I think I will just wait until that is finished.

[jayvdb]

openSUSE packaging requires license names match names given by SPDX. c.f. python-lml/lml#13

https://pypi.org/search/?q=choosealicense might include some useful tools.

Such an old issue. I will find some time to sort this out.
