What problem does it solve?
This Skill addresses the risk of using dependencies that are perceived as open-source but have recently changed their licensing to restrictive, source-available, or non-commercial terms, ensuring compliance and avoiding legal issues.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Live License Revalidation: Mandates real-time web searches to verify the current licensing status of any dependency.
- OSS-First Enforcement: Prioritizes open-source libraries over proprietary alternatives.
- Version-Specific Checks: Verifies licensing for the exact version being adopted, not just the latest.
- Transitive Dependency Auditing: Includes spot-checks for critical transitive dependencies.
- Hard Gating: Rejects proposals lacking proper license verification documentation.
- Use Case: Before adding a new .NET library to a project, this skill ensures its license is still permissive and hasn't been changed to a restrictive one, preventing potential legal entanglements.
Quick Start
Apply the dotnet-open-source-first-governance skill to verify the license of the 'Newtonsoft.Json' dependency.
