Dependency License Check

Check your dependencies’ licenses

Open-source dependencies carry licenses with obligations, and reviewing them avoids legal surprises. This tool helps check the licenses of your dependencies, so you understand the obligations your project inherits.

Why dependency licenses matter

Every open-source dependency you use comes with a license that imposes obligations, and these vary a lot: some are permissive and ask little, others require you to share your own source under the same terms, which can be incompatible with a commercial product. A project pulls in many dependencies, and a single one with an incompatible license can create a serious legal problem discovered at the worst time. Checking the licenses across your dependencies surfaces any that conflict with your intended use, so you can address them early. This is basic due diligence that is easy to skip until it bites.
