Work around monorepos

[honzajavorek]

There is a common issue with monorepos, described in lerna/lerna#1213. Would it make sense for license checker to work around the issue? It could somehow check whether the project is/isn't a monorepo and in case the license is missing, it could look it up in the root of the monorepo.

Not sure what you expect this module to do. It scans the installed packages, it never looks outside of the installed path for anything. So it couldn't check the root of a monorepo since it never leaves the disk. If the package doesn't ship with a license in the source, then it's not technically licensed properly.

Hmm, I guess you're right. This really needs to be fixed with the projects and the tooling around monorepos 😞
