Is it possible to retrieve the license(s) associated with a project? When I make a project query, I don't see that in the results, but the Ohloh project page shows a License field.
Thanks, Ron

I am interested in this, too.

You can use Ohcount. License detection was added to it not long ago.

I've added license information to the API.
When you get the XML for a project, there are now `` elements that include the license `name`, which is the short unique ID that Ohloh uses to identify licenses, as well as the `nice_name`, which is the full official name of the license.
Let me know if there's any trouble with this.
Thanks,

Hi,
This was really fast! Many thanks for this! One Question: Is it possible to include the homepage url of the license, too?

Yes, this is possible, but it's a slippery slope of putting more and more license data into the project xml...
Perhaps we should make an API page for licenses, so that you can get complete license info from that, and link to that from the project.
