Interesting!
Good to hear that :)
Is there documentation somewhere on how you ended up with those particular 363 licenses? Failing that, a pointer at the relevant code would be welcome :)
This involved some manual work to gather the related templates and a bot to import them in the DBpedia mappings wiki. See the following links for details
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Gaurav/DBpedia/dcterms:license https://github.com/gaurav/extraction-framework/issues/16 https://github.com/gaurav/extraction-framework/issues/18 https://github.com/gaurav/extraction-framework/issues/20 https://github.com/gaurav/extraction-framework/pull/30
The way we designed it with Gaurav there is no need to code anything to change an existing licence mapping or add a new one you just need to request editor rights for the DBpedia mappings wiki ( http://mappings.dbpedia.org) Hard-coding this into code could probably give us more fine-grained control but it would be much harder to adjust.
Best, Dimitris
