ABSTRACT:
A method, a data structure, a computer program product and a computer-readable medium for handling license agreements for multiple software packages in a computer system, each software package being identified by a unique package ID and comprising one or more components. One embodiment provides a method comprising: providing a plurality of document files, each document file comprising one or more text elements; providing a plurality of manifest files, each manifest file indicating at least one corresponding document file of the plurality of document files and comprising a unique package ID designating a corresponding software package; extracting a specific unique package ID from a specific software package; determining a corresponding manifest file from the plurality of manifest files on the basis of the extracted unique package ID; determining the at least one corresponding document file of the plurality of document files on the basis of the determined corresponding manifest file; and combining the one or more text elements comprised in the at least one determined corresponding document file to build a license agreement for the specific software package.
