project license_info field does not limit size

The user-provided license description appears to be 34MB, causing repeated loads to be slow.

This has happened before. We want a paragraph listing the license namess or URL to each license. Lp never wanted an actual license. Lets restrict the field to 5/10k, revise the field description again, and purge the offending data from the db.

Does Launchpad downloads the content of URL in the licence form field?

If this is the case, in which file format the licence must be given (linked by the URL)?

It seems to me that the best thing to do would be to simply change the URLs to HTML links and no more.

So I cannot modify the field.

https://launchpad.net/abstrasy/+edit don't work too.

My web browser is freezing when I open this URL.

Launchpad does not download licenses. It does not want licenses. It wants to tell contributors what the terms (because many will not contribute if they believe the terms are unfair) are and allow a Registry Admin to verify if the project qualifies for free hosting.

Your browser is freezing for the same, reason as the front page, that data needs to be loaded. This python script may fix the issue:

#!/usr/bin/python
from launchpadlib.launchpad import Launchpad
lp = Launchpad.login_with(
    'purge-license-info', service_root='https://api.launchpad.net',
    version='devel')
project = lp.projects['abstrasy']
project.license_info = 'URL TO LICENSE'
project.lp_save()

Thank you very much for your help.

Your script has been very useful. I just added the URL of the EUPL on the website of the European Union.

This is the open source license of my project. I add no more information about the license.
