Gradle License Report

A plugin for generating reports about the licenses of the dependencies for your Gradle project. This plugin is a fork of https://github.com/RobertFischer/Gradle-License-Report.

This plugin will resolve all your dependencies, and then scour them for anything that looks like relevant licensing information. The theory is to automatically generate a report that you can hand to corporate IP lawyers in order to keep them busy.

This plugin eats its own dogfood: if you check out the project, you will get build/reports/dependency-license/index.html which can be retrieved to see an example.

Usage

Add this to your build.gradle file:

plugins {
  id 'com.github.jk1.dependency-license-report' version '0.2'
}

Then run gradle generateLicenseReport to generate your report in build/reports/dependency-license.

• Module Name
