Licenses

IncusOS is built from a large number of open source components. The copyright and license information for everything present on a running system can be retrieved through the API.

The list of available entries can be obtained by running

incus admin os license list

Each entry has a type and a name.

Type	Content
debian	Copyright file of a Debian package.
local	License of software that is built or included outside of a Debian package.
license	Full text of a common license.

The copyright file of a Debian package will often only refer to a common license by name. The full text of that license is then available through the matching license entry.

To get the content of an entry, pass its type and name

incus admin os license show debian systemd

The list covers the base system as well as every installed application, so it will change as applications are added or removed.
