Recursive license check metric

Open dpc opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

We could display the least liberal license of each crate and their dependencies (recursively). Maybe? See reddit chat: https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/c9fzyp/analysis_of_rust_crate_sizes_on_cratesio/etdc05w/?context=10000

"least liberal" might be tough to define, but letting the end user mark which licenses they want to allow/forbid could be handy. https://github.com/onur/cargo-license appears to list each unique combination of licenses, and which crates are tagged with that license.

Note: this is related to having other recursive checks/metrics like: total recursive lines of code and total recursive distinct authors.
