cabal-dependency-licenses

Compose a list of a project's transitive dependencies with their licenses

Important: this was a quick tool I put together with a specific goal in mind. It is no longer actively maintained. You can use cabal-plan as an alternative (the license-report command in particular).

Installation

Through Hackage:

cabal install cabal-dependency-licenses

Usage

1. Navigate to the source tree of a cabal package.

    $ cd Documents/Projects/stylish-haskell
   

2. Make sure the package is configured correctly.

    $ cabal configure
   

3. Use the tool.

    $ cabal-dependency-licenses
    # BSD3
   
    - aeson
    - array
    ...
    - void
    - yaml
   
    # MIT
