Struct spdx::Licensee

pub struct Licensee { /* fields omitted */ }

A convenience wrapper for a license and optional exception that can be checked against a license requirement to see if it satisfies the requirement placed by a license holder

let licensee = spdx::Licensee::parse("GPL-2.0").unwrap();

assert!(licensee.satisfies(&spdx::LicenseReq::from(spdx::license_id("GPL-2.0-only").unwrap())));

Implementations

impl Licensee

pub fn new(license: LicenseItem, exception: Option<ExceptionId>) -> Self

Creates a licensee from its component parts. Note that use of SPDX’s or_later is completely ignored for licensees as it only applies to the license holder(s) not the licensee

pub fn parse(original: &str) -> Result<Self, ParseError<'_>>

Parses an simplified version of an SPDX license expression that can contain at most 1 valid SDPX license with an optional exception joined by a WITH.

use spdx::Licensee;

// Normal single license
Licensee::parse("MIT").unwrap();

// SPDX allows license identifiers outside of the official license list
// via the LicenseRef- prefix
Licensee::parse("LicenseRef-My-Super-Extra-Special-License").unwrap();

// License and exception
Licensee::parse("Apache-2.0 WITH LLVM-exception").unwrap();

// `+` is only allowed to be used by license requirements from the license holder
Licensee::parse("Apache-2.0+").unwrap_err();

Licensee::parse("GPL-2.0").unwrap();

// GNU suffix license (GPL, AGPL, LGPL, GFDL) must not contain the suffix
Licensee::parse("GPL-3.0-or-later").unwrap_err();

pub fn satisfies(&self, req: &LicenseReq) -> bool

Determines whether the specified license requirement is satisfied by this license (+exception)

let licensee = spdx::Licensee::parse("Apache-2.0 WITH LLVM-exception").unwrap();

assert!(licensee.satisfies(&spdx::LicenseReq {
    license: spdx::LicenseItem::Spdx {
        id: spdx::license_id("Apache-2.0").unwrap(),
        // Means the license holder is fine with Apache-2.0 or higher
        or_later: true,
    },
    exception: spdx::exception_id("LLVM-exception"),
}));
