Re: Liblicense Guide to Licensing Agreements
The software should be able to assist in drafting licenses for most any kind of electronic information, regardless of media. So you should be able to use it for licenses covering digital information other than plain text or databases. However, the software is intended to cover licensing agreements for actual information, not for software or computer programs. As for the discussion on this list, image archives or other kinds of multimedia information are not meant to be excluded. Hope this helps.
