Question
We've been asked to list all the software and licenses used in our organization. Without deciding the value of this request, I'd like to get my Fedora laptop to answer the question easily.
rpm -qa
Gives me a list of packages, but no license data. My next step is to take that output and write a script to query each package's license.
Anyone got an easier idea?
Solution
rpm -qa --qf "%{name}: %{license}\n"
OTHER TIPS
Okay, I'm just bad at driving rpm.
rpm -qai
Output is a little untidy, but not too bad.
[Edit] Tidier output
rpm -qa --queryformat "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}: %{LICENSE}\n"
