A tool to automate license management workflow for go module project's dependencies and transitive dependencies.

The v2 package is being developed and currently incomplete, @Bobgy is upstreaming changes from his fork in https://github.com/Bobgy/go-licenses/blob/main/v2.

Tracking issue where you can find the roadmap and progress: https://github.com/google/go-licenses/issues/70.

The major changes from v1 are:

V2 only supports go modules, it can get license URL for modules without a need for you to vendor your dependencies.
V2 does not assume each module has a single license, v2 will scan all the files for each module to find licenses.
