    OSI: Announcing the Open Source License API

    At its blog, the Open Source Initiative (OSI) announces the deployment of "a machine readable publication of OSI approved licenses" accessible via api.opensource.org. The service is designed to "store a central list of crosswalks and common identifiers to other services, allowing third parties who are already license-aware to provide their mappings, and pull OSI approval status programatically." Programs can query a license by its Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) ID and determine whether or not it is OSI-approved. API wrappers are available for Python, Ruby, and Go.
