Expose license information to JS

[pehagg]

We have quite specific needs regarding the UI. Would it be possible to expose the license data directly to JS, so that we could build our own UI in React Native?

Hey @pehagg, it sounds like an interesting feature, although we would need to verify a few things:

• the underlying native libraries we use the aggregate and display metadata will let us expose it to the JS world
• the license metadata we send will not block JS thread (because of its size)

True, wasn't thinking about the perf implications. In our particular case we wouldn't necessarily need the full license texts, a link to the license would be enough.

Thanks for considering this.
