gridwork-license

MCP server that scans project dependencies for license compliance issues.

What it does

• Classifies 60+ licenses by risk level (copyleft, weak-copyleft, permissive, public-domain, proprietary)
• Detects conflicts between dependency licenses and your project license
• Flags AGPL dependencies in non-AGPL projects (SaaS risk)
• Identifies unknown/undeclared licenses
