It will pick up license files named appropriately or inline licenses such as the below in source files SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-3.0-only In a nutshell this project is a reimplementation of http://www.boyter.org/2017/05/identify-software-licenses-python-vector-space-search-ngram-keywords/ using Go while I attempt to nut out the nuances of the language. It can produce report outputs as valid SPDX, CSV, XLSX, JSON and CLI formatted. It has been designed to work inside CI systems that capture either stdout or file artifacts. Dual-licensed under MIT or the UNLICENSE. Support Using lc commercially?
