This is a collaborative metadata registry of unencumbered public-domain software projects. That encompasses all projects using the Unlicense, Creative Commons Zero (CC0), or a plain old public-domain dedication.
Project metadata are described in JSON format, one file per project, utilizing the terms from the DOAP (Description of a Project) schema.
The current plan is that this project metadata will be made available in HTML, JSON, and JSON-LD format at Unlicense.org going forward.
All material in this repository is itself in the public domain.
See projects/sqlite.json for an example of how to describe a project:
{
"name": "SQLite",
"homepage": "https://sqlite.org",
"shortdesc": {
"en": "The most used database engine in the world."
},
"repository": {
"browse": "https://sqlite.org/src",
"location": "http://sqlite.org/cgi/src"
},
"license": "https://sqlite.org/copyright.html"
}
A: To just suggest a project addition, please tweet at @TheUnlicense on Twitter.
A: No, as these are not public-domain dedications but rather maximally-permissive copyright licenses. Please see Licensed, License-Free, and Unlicensed Code.
A: No, not in this registry. Consider submitting non-software projects to johnjago/awesome-uncopyright instead.
