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://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

Thanks-
