Contributing

LicenseLynx accepts contributions for data, code, and documentation.

The project is a monorepo with separate folders for the libraries, the data pipeline, and the website:

• scripts/ contains the Python-based update, merge, and validation pipeline.
• python/, java/, and typescript/ contain the libraries.
• website/ contains the MkDocs documentation site.

The pages below cover the main contribution paths:

• Adding Mappings for OSS license data.
• Organization Mappings for organization-specific data under data/orgs/.
• New Language Library for adding support for another programming language.
• Releases for versioning and release rules.

Reporting Issues

If you detect a bug in the software or find an error in the data, create an issue. For feature requests, create a new issue if one does not already exist.
