A simple Node.js package to check your dependencies for any open source license shenanigans that deny license to certain entities.
yarn add license-drama-check
or
npm install license-drama-check
The package can be user either in CLI or programatically, as a function.
After installing the package, the CLI command is:
license-drama-check
If your package manager doesn't set the command up properly, you can always run it with
./node_modules/license-drama-check/run.js
To use programatically, import the module, which is a function and call it:
const check = require('license-drama-check');
const result = check();
The return value is true if a problem is found or false if no problems are found.
If you're using shelljs or a similar package to change cwd in your script, make sure to call the function while cwd is the root of your project.
PRs to make the script smarter or simply cover any changes in wording in the affected projects are greatly appreciated.
The purpose of this package is to detect any potentially harmful open source license tampering. Any similarities with a case of open source license drama, past, present or future, may or may not be intentional.
