Configuration file

Local files

In the root of your repository create a file called .allowed_licenses.yml.

There are two possible formats for this file:

1. use a local list of licenses directly in the file, for example:

   allowed licenses:
       - OSI Approved::BSD License
       - OSI Approved::Apache Software License
       - OSI Approved::MIT License
       - OSI Approved::GNU General Public License v3 or later (GPLv3+)
   
   files to check:
       - Pipfile
       - setup.py
   
   language: python
   
   include: []
   

2. include a remote file, for example:

   allowed licenses: []
   
   files to check:
       - Pipfile
       - setup.py
   
   language: python
   
   include:
       - https://codeberg.org/frnmst/licheck/raw/branch/master/examples/python_gpl_compatible.yml
   

Remote files

Remote files may only contain allowed licenses values. The use of remote files is inspired by kontrolilo and license-check-config , for example:
