GitHub has open-sourced a tool named Licensed, which is designed to help developers manage and verify the licenses of open-source software (OSS) dependencies within their projects. Licensed operates by identifying, caching, and checking license metadata for dependencies across various programming languages and package managers, ensuring compliance with OSS license requirements. It offers flexibility to work within both monolithic and individual project repositories by using configuration files to enumerate dependencies and store metadata. By caching metadata in a source control repository, it provides an audit trail of dependency changes and simplifies the process of updating and distributing licenses. Licensed integrates into GitHub's development workflow, providing continuous integration (CI) checks to ensure compliance and facilitate collaboration with subject matter experts when changes occur. The tool is designed to be extensible, allowing for the addition of new dependency sources to accommodate projects using unsupported languages or frameworks. Future enhancements aim to streamline its integration into developer workflows and expand support for additional dependency sources.
