Automatically determine compatible licenses?

[fhg-isi]

I would expect, that the license checker automatically checks if the licenses are compatible to the license of the project, similar to https://github.com/FHPythonUtils/LicenseCheck for python.

However, it seems that I need to manually specify what licenses I want to allow/forbit.

=> Is there another tool that generates those lists for me when specifying my target license and that I should use in combination with the license-checker?

@fhg-isi Have you found any tools to help you do this?

Nope. For the time being I use the manual approach of a list of allowed licenses:
