Qodana License audit

Edit page Last modified: 21 November 2022

official project

warning

The Qodana License audit linter is deprecated. You can inspect compatibility of dependency licenses using technology-specific Qodana linters.

note

The current version of Qodana (2022.2) lets you analyze Java, Kotlin, PHP, Python, JavaScript, and TypeScript projects. Eventually, all languages and technologies covered by JetBrains IDEs will be added.

Qodana License audit helps software projects avoid problems with incompatible third-party licenses. More than 1600 licenses are detected. Users can create their own include and ignore lists as well as other overrides of the default detector’s logic.

tip

Qodana Playground provides several example projects analyzed by Qodana License audit.

Analyze a project locally

To start, pull the image from Docker Hub (only necessary to get the latest version):

docker pull jetbrains/qodana-license-audit

and run the analysis locally:

docker run --rm -it -v <source-directory>/:/data/project/ \
  -p 8080:8080 jetbrains/qodana-license-audit --show-report

where source-directory should point to the root of your project.

Check the results in your browser at http://localhost:8080.
