We introduce a large-scale dataset of the complete texts of free/open source software (FOSS) license variants. To assemble it we have collected from the Software Heritage archive—the largest publicly available archive of FOSS source code with accompanying development history—all versions of files whose names are commonly used to convey licensing terms to software users and developers.
The dataset consists of 6.5 million unique license files that can be used to conduct empirical studies on open source licensing, training of automated license classifiers, natural language processing (NLP) analyses of legal texts, as well as historical and phylogenetic studies on FOSS licensing.
Additional metadata about shipped license files are also provided, making the dataset ready to use in various contexts; they include: file length measures, detected MIME type, detected SPDX license (using ScanCode), example origin (e.g., GitHub repository), oldest public commit in which the license appeared.
The dataset is released as open data as an archive file containing all deduplicated license blobs, plus several portable CSV files for metadata, referencing blobs via cryptographic checksums.

The most popular open source license in the WhiteSource global database in 2021 was Apache 2.0. This license allows users to distribute, modify, or use software for their own purposes, as long as the user complies with the specified license terms. WhiteSource is a platform that automates open source security, compliance, and reporting processes.

From 2012 to 2021, there appears to be a trend towards open source creators choosing the permissive route when it comes to open source licenses throughout the world. In 2012, only 41 percent of open source licenses were permissive, while in 2021 that figure reached 78 percent.

When creators attach permissive licenses to their open source projects, it gives corporations various freedom to use the code without having to give much back to the creators.

This dataset contains the active driver license information. The dataset only includes customer age, type of license( meaning noncommercial license or commercial license), permit type ( meaning learners, provisional, temporary, and regular), if it is real-id or not validated license, license expiration date, and status of the license.

Free and open source software has gained a lot of momentum in the industry and the research community. Open source licenses determine the rules, under which the open source software can be further used and distributed. Previous works have examined the usage of open source licenses in the framework of specific projects or online social coding platforms, examining developers specific licensing views for specific software. However, the questions practitioners ask about licenses and licensing as captured in Question and Answer websites also constitute an important aspect toward understanding practitioners general licenses and licensing concerns. In this paper, we investigate open source license discussions using data from the Software Engineering, Open Source and Law Stack Exchange sites that contain relevant data. We describe the process used for the data collection and analysis, and discuss the main results. Our results indicate that clarifications about specific licenses and specific license terms are required. The results can be useful for developers, educators and license authors.

Active Dog Licenses.

All dog owners residing in NYC are required by law to license their dogs. The data is sourced from the DOHMH Dog Licensing System (https://a816-healthpsi.nyc.gov/DogLicense), where owners can apply for and renew dog licenses. Each record represents a unique dog license that was active during the year, but not necessarily a unique record per dog, since a license that is renewed during the year results in a separate record of an active license period. Each record stands as a unique license period for the dog over the course of the yearlong time frame.

This is a point-in-time count of active professional licenses, by County and State, issued by the Department of Licensing. These licenses are issued to people or businesses.

This dataset features licenses issued by the NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP)—formerly the Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA).

As of November 2023, commercial database management systems (DBMSs) are slightly less popular than open source DBMSs, however, both have accumulated similar amounts of ranking scores. The most popular DBMS in the world was Oracle, a commercial system; open source system MySQL and Microsoft SQL server, another commercial system, rounded out the top three.

Data fields requiring description are detailed below.

APPLICATION TYPE: ‘ISSUE’ is the record associated with the initial license application. ‘RENEW’ is a subsequent renewal record. All renewal records are created with a term start date and term expiration date. ‘C_LOC’ is a change of location record. It means the business moved. ‘C_CAPA’ is a change of capacity record. Only a few license types may file this type of application. ‘C_EXPA’ only applies to businesses that have liquor licenses. It means the business location expanded. 'C_SBA' is a change of business activity record. It means that a new business activity was added or an existing business activity was marked as expired.

LICENSE STATUS: ‘AAI’ means the license was issued. ‘AAC’ means the license was cancelled during its term. ‘REV’ means the license was revoked. 'REA' means the license revocation has been appealed.

LICENSE STATUS CHANGE DATE: This date corresponds to the date a license was cancelled (AAC), revoked (REV) or appealed (REA).
