LaTeX package 'doclicense'

CTAN: https://www.ctan.org/pkg/doclicense

Code repository: https://github.com/ypid/latex-packages/tree/master/doclicense

Question on Stackexchange: https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/226788/32320

Description

Support for putting documents under a license.

The doclicense package allows you to put your document under a license and include a link to read about the license or include an icon or image of the license. Currently, only Creative Commons is supported but this package is designed to handle all kinds of licenses.

Generating the files

You can generate the doclicense.sty file with:

tex doclicense.ins

The documentation can be generated with:

make doclicense.pdf

Note that this will only work when this directory is below your $TEXMFHOME tree (unless the doclicense package is already installed for example by your TeX distribution). Example for doing this:

git clone https://github.com/ypid/latex-packages.git ypid-latex-packages
cd ypid-latex-packages/doclicense && make install-symlink build

If you have not worked with $TEXMFHOME you might want to refer to the documentation of your TeX distribution for details. See also the next section.

Important notes regarding TDS

Please note that the images/ and the license-texts/ subdirectories must end up in the runtime tex/ subtree (that is tex/latex/doclicense/) for the \doclicenseImage macro and the \doclicense*FullText macros to work correctly.
