aperçu
Find licenses for your project's dependencies
historique
LicenseFinder is Pivotal's long-running Ruby CLI for finding dependency licenses, comparing them with approved policies, and reporting unapproved packages. It covers many project types by calling their native package managers rather than treating license scanning as a single-language problem.
The public repository was created on 2011-01-17. The README describes a tool that works with package managers to find dependencies, detect licenses, compare them with permitted licenses, and produce actionable exception reports.
The changelog records a broadening scope over time: support for Ruby, Node, Python, Java, Go, CocoaPods, Swift Package Manager, Rust Cargo, PHP Composer, Conda, Flutter, and other ecosystems appears across releases. Release 7.0.0 in 2022 added Ruby 3 support, Flutter scanning, and SPDX identifier reporting.
LicenseFinder spread through CLI, RubyGems, Homebrew, Docker, and pre-commit workflows. Its Docker image bundles package managers so CI jobs can scan mixed-language repositories without installing every ecosystem tool on the host.
Users run license_finder after installing project dependencies. The tool records approvals and permitted licenses, exits non-zero for unapproved dependencies, and can run in CI to catch new dependency-license work items.
LicenseFinder is important to package people because it exposes the practical mess of license metadata: every package manager has different files, commands, and metadata conventions, so the tool's value is in its adapters and decision record as much as in license detection.
