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.

This is not a practical "How can I programmatically do this" but a legalistic "under what copyright permissions am I permitted to do this".

Oh yeah, my mistake. That's an interesting topic actually thanks.
