        How to use the Licenses Package
        ===============================
        
        This package can be used in three ways (develop, distribute, and deploy).
        
        1.  To create and access license data in JSON form.
        
            The package contains a data file (./licenses/licenses.db) and a scraper
            (licenses/scrape.py) which and updates the data file::
        
                $ hg clone https://bitbucket.org/okfn/licenses
                $ cd licenses
                $ python licenses/scrape.py
        
            A report will be printed about changes to the licenses data.
        
        
        2.  Access of the data via a simple python API::
        
              >>> from licenses import Licenses
              >>> L = Licenses()
              >>> for l in L: print l
              ...
              odc-odbl
              ...
              >>> print l['odb-odbl']
              {'status': 'active', ...
              >>>
        
        3.  Deployment as a service.
        
            Install or update the Python package, then create the service files::
        
                $ python licenses/deploy.py <path> <hostname>
        
            A whole set of files will be created at <path> which can then be served
            directly by your webserver.
