I need to create a table with all installable packages on first column and its license in the second.

e.g.:

  • Gedit | GPL
BuZZ-dEE
  • 14,533

Apt doesn't really support licencing queries like that but you always try aptitude -F "%p %s" search "?not(?installed)" That will tell you what section of the repository it's in.

There is also

packages=dpkg --get-selections | awk '{ print $1 }'
for package in $packages; do echo "$package: "; cat /usr/share/doc/$package/copyright;echo ""; echo ""; done > ~/licenses.txt
