License tools (4)

write = sends, deletes, buys or posts

Read from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.

  • classify_license

    Classify a license string — returns risk level (copyleft, weak-copyleft, permissive, public-domain, proprietary, unknown) and SPDX identifier.

  • find_copyleft

    Find all copyleft-licensed dependencies in a project. Useful for quickly identifying viral license obligations.

  • quick_check

    Quick license overview — counts and risk breakdown without full details.

  • scan_licenses

    Scan a project's dependencies for license compliance issues. Detects copyleft conflicts, unknown licenses, and proprietary risks. Works with npm (node_modules), Python (requirements.txt), and more.
