GitHub project dataset for license analysis

This dataset consists of a number of GitHub repositories that cover the following programming languages: PHP, Java, JavaScript, C, C++, C#, Python, Visual Basic. The repositories were used by license extraction tools, i.e. FOSSology Nomos, Ninka, to see which open source software licenses exist in the source code. They were also used to perform analysis on the README.md file and discover licenses used in libraries as described in the README.
