This repo records changes to software licenses.

To use these scripts, create a personal dev token in your GitHub settings.

This script adds recently updated repos (>1000 stars) to repos.txt:

./repos.sh $GITHUB_TOKEN

This script samples repos.txt and adds the license commit history to commits.csv:

./commits.sh $GITHUB_TOKEN

View the latest license changes like so:

curl -s 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/surprisetalk/licensure/main/commits.csv' \
  | sort -r | head \
  | awk -F, '{print $1 ": https://github.com/" $2 "/commit/" $3}'

View the license commits on GitHub at https://github.com/$REPO/commit/$COMMIT or via API:

curl -H "Accept: application/vnd.github+json" \
     -H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" \
     "https://api.github.com/repos/$REPO/commits/$COMMIT"
