What happens with transitive dependents if the license expires?

[Piedone]

I'd like to clarify how the license check works for transitive dependencies, since we at Orchard Core use ImageSharp libraries.

Do I understand correctly that if somebody adds an Orchard Core package that references e.g. ImageSharp.Web to their project, then there will be no license check, and thus their build will continue working even if the license is invalid/expired? So, the license check is only when you build Orchard Core itself? I'm asking because I'm concerned that licenses are for a year, but I don't know what happens to these builds once that license expires.

That is correct yes. Transitive package builds are not affected at all by the license key requirements at any point and will continue to build. Build time license key requirements affect direct package consumers only.

Thanks!
