Description

Codebases can be scanned to identify likely project licenses.

This tool is useful for developers, maintainers, and auditors who need to detect license files or license text in a repository. It does not replace legal review; it reports evidence that should be checked against project policy and dependency metadata.

License detection can miss custom terms or mixed licensing. Review findings before making compliance decisions.
