License Detector is the fastest, most accurate license detection tool measured. It scans your codebase and its dependencies for real license text, and flags any gaps before you ship potentially non-compliant code. License Detector works across 21 ecosystems, dozens of languages, and it's free in the web app for any open/public repo. We also have a CLI tool (https://github.com/licensedetector/cli) that you can try for free on your codebase as well. Hope people try it out and enjoy it!
Years ago when I worked for an early stage startup, I was handed a compliance task: gather up all the LICENSE files from our codebase, so we could make sure all our products were legally compliant. It was not as easy as it sounded -- I had to use multiple different command line tools, merge all the results from the disparate tools together, and then manually verify that the data was correct. I made a mental note at the time that I should build something that made this easier one day. That day is today!
