License Categories in the License Dropdown

Code Insight classifies licenses into the categories that are described in the table later in this section. When you select a license to map to a specific component version, the license dropdown for that version can contain one or more of these categories from which to choose the license. The categories available for a component version are based on whether the version has a user-preferred license, one or more license associations (as specified in the Code Insight Data Library), or no known license associations.

The following screenshot shows an example license dropdown listing available licenses in categories.

The following table identifies the available license categories and the type of license(s) each contains.
