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!
We have an open bug for this, actually: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/44893 I'm of the opinion that there cannot be a license requirement for reuse at all, since it's not original enough, and explicitly clarify this in https://github.com/eli-schwartz/pkgbuilds#copyright -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
