Choose the right license for your open source project
Repolicense is a web application designed to simplify the often tedious process of choosing the right license for open-source projects. Recognizing that the sheer number of available licenses can be overwhelming for developers, Repolicense offers an intuitive, question-driven approach to guide users toward the most suitable option.
The core of Repolicense is a decision tree, presented through an easy-to-use interface. Users answer a series of yes or no questions about their project and licensing preferences, and based on these responses, the application navigates the tree to provide a license recommendation. To enhance transparency and clarity, Repolicense also features a visualization of this decision tree using MermaidJS, allowing users to understand the logic behind the recommendations.
Furthermore, Repolicense integrates with the GitHub API to fetch real-time license descriptions, providing up-to-date and detailed information about each suggested license. As an open-source project itself, the entire codebase for Repolicense is available on GitHub, encouraging community contributions and transparency.
Using Repolicense is straightforward: simply visit the website, answer the questions about your project, and receive a license recommendation along with detailed information fetched directly from GitHub. Contributions to the project are welcome, and developers are encouraged to visit the GitHub repository to view the code, open issues, and suggest improvements. Feedback and questions can also be submitted via email.
