Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for managing license compliance in software development. A license analyzer receives a triggering event for analyzing license obligations associated with a software package. In response, the license analyzer performs a first scan on dependencies in the software package to determine libraries included in the software package and declared licenses in the included libraries. The license analyzer performs a second scan on source files in the software package to detect, based on license indicators present in the source files, licenses implicitly used in the software package. The license analyzer generates a compliance document specifying the license obligations based on results of the scans.
