Is it possible to not show all of the licenses ?

Thanks

[lafriks]

I don't think so but you can set PREFERRED_LICENSES in app.ini that will be shown on top in select box

[freedomtrain]

Thanks !!!!
Are the licenses entries hard coded ?
I deleted all of the licenses files that we do not want to show as an option and they still are showing up

They are compiled in binary. So to remove them you would have to recompile from source

[freedomtrain]

Ah ha ......
Thanks !!!! Is there any documentation on how to recompile my current build from source ?

[sapk]

We have custom licenses, as stated in docs here, but the behavior is to extend the default one not replace them.

To compile the exact same build you need a golang env ready and follow https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/install-from-source/.
To know the commit/banch/version of binary use ./gitea -v of your current version. It will also display TAGS used to build the binary like sqlite or bindata

And I forget, if you find any bottleneck following the documentation, feel free to contribute to https://github.com/go-gitea/docs and ask question on Discord or here. 😉

I have have followed the instructions here https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/install-from-source/
The license that I have deleted are still showing up.

Are they in bindata ?

[sapk]

For context, bindata (more exacly go-bindata) is a program that convert file in go source code accessible like a filesystem.
Generated code should be under module/options. try to do a make clean, remove file under options/license that you don't want, and do make generate build with your tags.
You could also try without bindata tag but you will need to keep around static file like /templates or /public to work.

As a feature this should be implemented in the future to be able manage licenses

[sapk]

One easy way could be to not use default licence if custom/licenses are used ? or add an option to not use default.

I was looking for something similar. How about a special file inside the license (or other overriding) folder like .INCLUDE or .EXCLUDE to specify included or exclude licenses respectively? It would be a shame to maintain a separate set of licenses just to remove some defaults.
