许可证

Licenses API 可让您检索热门开源许可证，以及有关特定项目许可文件的信息。

关于许可证 API

许可 API 使用开源 Ruby Gem 许可接收方来尝试� �识项目的许可。许可接收方将项目的 LICENSE 文件（如果有）的内容与已知许可的简短列表相匹配。 � 此，API 不考虑项目依赖项的许可或其他记录项目许可的方式，例如对文档中许可名称的引用。

如果许可匹配，则返回的许可密钥和名称符合 SPDX 规范。

注意：这些终结点还将返回存储库的许可信息：

GitHub 有很多功能，但它不是律师事务所。 � 此，GitHub 不提供法律建议。使用许可 API 或向我们发送电子邮件并不构成法律意见，也不形成律师-客户关系。如果您对特定许可可以做什么和不能做什么有任何疑问，您应该在继续之前先咨询自己的法律顾问。事实上，在做出任何可能具有法律后果或影响您合法权利的决定之前，您都应该咨询自己的律师。

GitHub 创建了许可 API，旨在帮助用户获取有关开源许可以及使用它们的项目的信息。我们希望它有帮助，但请记住，我们不是律师（至少大多数人不是），像其他人一� �，我们也会犯错。 � 此，GitHub“按原� �”提供 API，对提供或通过其提供的任何信息或许可不做任何保证，并对使用 API 所� 成的损害不承担责任。
