This tool can be used to check the licenses of the used packages.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Our package can be installed with composer with the following command:

```
composer require best-it/license-check --dev --prefer-dist
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Create one or more YAML configuration files ([license-check.yml](license-check.yml)) like this:

```
allowed-licenses:
  - MIT

allowed-packages:
  composer:
    - /best-it\/license-check/
    - /best-it\/.*/
  node:
    - /test\/test/
```

The allowed packages must be defined as a regular expression.

If multiple files are passed as an argument they will be merged to a single configuration.

Execute the following command to get a report which includes the information that everything is compatible or that some dependencies are not compatible with your configuration. In case of problems the error code is 1.

```
./vendor/bin/license-check
```
