MIT License Compatibility Audit

Check project dependencies for licenses incompatible with MIT.

Workflow

1. Collect License Data

Node.js (pnpm):

pnpm licenses list --json

Node.js (npm):

npx license-checker --json

Rust:

cargo metadata --format-version 1

2. Identify Problematic Licenses

Incompatible with MIT (block release):

  • GPL, GPLv2, GPLv3
  • AGPL, AGPLv3
  • SSPL, BUSL, CPAL, EUPL

Requires investigation:

  • LGPL (may be acceptable depending on linking)
  • UNKNOWN, UNLICENSED, SEE LICENSE IN LICENSE
  • CC-BY-* (requires attribution)

Generally compatible:

  • MIT, ISC, BSD-2-Clause, BSD-3-Clause
  • Apache-2.0 (include NOTICE if present)
  • MPL-2.0 (disclose modifications to MPL files)
  • Unlicense, CC0-1.0, WTFPL

Rust dual-licensing:

  • MIT OR Apache-2.0 → Choose MIT, compatible
  • GPL OR MIT → Choose MIT, compatible

3. Generate Report
