GitHub licence checker.
Review licence and maintenance signals before making a dependency or reuse decision.
Understand reuse obligations.
This preview explains the check, then opens the existing secure tool to execute it. No result is fabricated here.
Licence is more than a badge.
- SPDX licence identity and version
- Files and copyright notices requiring attribution
- Weak-copyleft obligations
- Repository-level vs file-level evidence
Always inspect source evidence and downstream obligations.

Then all rights are reserved by the author. You can read the code, but you may not copy, modify or ship it without permission.
