**license-types** is a lightweight NPM package that classifies software licenses into a set of mutually‑exclusive categories (e.g., public domain, permissive, protective, network‑protective, use‑protective, modify‑protective) and provides accompanying JSON schemas, color‑coded metadata, and human‑readable labels. It’s aimed at developers, package managers, and tooling authors who need an easy programmatic way to understand and display the legal “type” of a project's license without offering legal advice.
