Some projects include code from various sources and combine several software licenses.  In this case it's easier to link to the code repository's license file, or some other equivalent source.  The '''OTHER''' keyword can be used for this.  It takes a second argument which is the URL to link to, and an optional third argument which is the anchor:

This is a template to display software license information and link to the original license text.

Usage

Simply pass the type of license you need as the template argument.

Example: {{License|GPL}}

Available Licenses

Note: keywords are case-sensitive.

Any anchor on the GNU licenses page can be used as a keyword.

Keyword License Name
OTHER This is a special keyword (see below)
GPLv2 GNU General Public License version 2 (only)
GPLv2+ GNU General Public License version 2 or later
GPLv3+ GNU General Public License version 3 or later
GPL GNU General Public License (ultimate version, eq. GPLv3+)
AGPL GNU Affero General Public License
Apache2 Apache License version 2.0

OTHER licensing scheme

Some projects include code from various sources and combine several software licenses. In this case it's easier to link to the code repository's license file, or some other equivalent source. The OTHER keyword can be used for this. It takes a second argument which is the URL to link to, and an optional third argument which is the anchor:

Usage Description
{{License|OTHER|https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git/tree/LICENSE}} will show: License: Speficic licensing scheme
{{License|OTHER|https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git/tree/LICENSE|Tor-specific free software license}} will show: License: Tor-specific free software license
