Hi everyone,

I'm interested in collecting the metadata of all packages. I intend to do this by crawling the ArchLinux package listing pages (let me know if there is a better way!). However, on the package listing pages [1,2], I do not see any license information regarding how one can use these metadata. Can someone help me here? Thanks!

There are web interfaces for the main repositories and the AUR. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AurJson https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Official_repositories_web_interface
