Apache2 License Checker

Automated license checker for validating project dependencies for compatible Apache2 licenses.

Use with your project

- Run npm install apache2-license-checker --save-dev
- Run apache2-license-checker in the root of your project
- Modify your package.json to include apache2-license-checker as part of your test script

For example:
``js
...
"scripts": {
"test": "mocha && npm run check-licenses",
"check-licenses": "apache2-license-checker"
},
...
`

The license checker will fail with an exit code of 1 if there are any problems with the license, and will pass with an exit code of 0 if all checks are ok.

A temporary file licenses.json will be created containing a full license analysis based on output from the license-checker tool.

Development

- Check out the code
- Run npm install
- Run npm test

Modify scripts/whitelist.js to allow additional licenses or license combinations.

Modify scripts/exceptions.js to allow specific modules for a given reason.
