Feature request: for a given project license, a distribution profile and dependency licenses return required actions #86

Description

@pilosus

For now, using the tool requires some sort of expertise. A user should understand the differences between the license types (e.g. permissive, weak copyleft, strong copyleft, "copyleft over the network") in order to understand the consequences for the project he/she check the dependencies for.

We need to "transfer" some expertise to the tool itself by supporting:

  • a project license (e.g. Proprietory)

  • a project distribution profile (e.g. mobile-app)

  • project dependencies with their license names/types (already implemented at the time of writing)

  • returning/detecting required actions e.g.:

  • add the original copyright notice

  • disclose the source code

  • (re)-license the project under the same or compatible strong-copyleft license
