In some organizations, the use of Open Source Software (OSS) is strictly controlled and audited, and requires having every OSS library simply documented. This utility will generate a `licenses.md` file in the root of your project that contains a list of all dependencies, the currently installed version, commit sha, its description, homepage, list of licenses, and full license text if it is present in the dependency source code directly. It receives this information from the `composer.lock` file, so you must have run a `composer update` or `composer install` at least once in order to use this utility. Installation ------------ [](#installation) If you need a utility such as this for your place of business, chances are, you will need it for more than a single project. Therefore, the easiest and reccommeded way to install this utility is as a global composer package: ``` composer global require comcast/php-legal-licenses ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) If you installed php-legal-licenses globally via composer, you should be able to run the script in any of your projects. Note, you must have run either `composer update` or `composer install` at least once, to create a `composer.lock` file. ``` $ cd /path/to/my/project $ which php-legal-licenses > ~/.composer/vendor/bin/php-legal-licenses $ php-legal-licenses generate > Generating Licenses file... > Done! ``` You can also hide dependency version with `--hide-version` option: ``` $ php-legal-licenses generate --hide-version ``` You can output csv file with `--csv` option: ``` $ php-legal-licenses generate --csv ``` Or use both option: ``` $ php-legal-licenses generate --hide-version --csv ``` Example Output -------------- [](#example-output) Here is a snippet of the licenses file that would be generated for this utility itself: ``` # Project Licenses This file was generated by the Legal Licenses utility. It contains the name, version and commit sha, description, homepage, and license information for every dependency in this project. ## Dependencies ### psr/log (Version 1.0.2 | 4ebe3a8) Common interface for logging libraries Homepage: https://github.com/php-fig/log Licenses Used: MIT Copyright (c) 2012 PHP Framework Interoperability Group Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
