Hi Nixers, The licenses that are used in nixpkgs are specified in .nix format. While it is possible to use builtins.toJSON to convert to JSON on-demand, I propose that we store the licenses in JSON format instead, separating the data from code.
A practical use case is that I would like to match (using Python) raw license information to the licenses we have in nixpkgs. I don't want to depend on the user having Nix available (just the nixpkgs repository) to convert libraries.nix to JSON. That is my argumentation. What do you think? Kind regards, Freddy Rietdijk
