# GitHub Action for detecting license names and types

![GitHub release (latest SemVer)](https://img.shields.io/github/v/release/pilosus/action-pip-license-checker?label=latest%20stable%20version)

Detect license names and types for Python PyPI packages. Identify
license types for given license names obtained by third-party
tools. Great coverage of free/libre and open source licenses of all
types:
[public domain](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-domain-equivalent_license),
[permissive](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permissive_software_license),
[copyleft](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyleft).

Supported formats:

- **Python**: packages or `requirements.txt` (detect license name and license type)
- **JavaScript**: CSV files generated by [license-checker](https://www.npmjs.com/package/license-checker) (detect license type)
- **iOS**: Apple Plist files generated by [CocoaPods Acknowledgements plugin](https://github.com/CocoaPods/cocoapods-acknowledgements) (detect license type)
- **Android**: JSON files generated by [Gradle License Plugin](https://github.com/jaredsburrows/gradle-license-plugin) (detect license type)
- **Other**: CSV files with package name and license name columns (detect license type).

Based on [pip-license-check](https://github.com/pilosus/pip-license-checker) command-line tool.

## Usage examples

### Check all Python packages including transitive dependencies

```yaml
jobs:
  license_check:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - name: Checkout the code
      uses: actions/checkout@v4
      with:
        fetch-depth: 0
    - name: Setup Python
      uses: actions/setup-python@v5
      with:
        python-version: '3.13'
    - name: Get explicit and transitive dependencies
      run: |
        pip install -r requirements.txt
        pip freeze > requirements-all.txt
    - name: Check python
      id: license_check_report
      uses: pilosus/action-pip-license-checker@v3
      with:
        requirements: 'requirements-all.txt'
        fail: 'Copyleft'
        exclude: '(?i)^(pylint|aio[-_]*).*'
    - name: Print report
      if: ${{ always() }}
      run: echo "${{ steps.license_check_report.outputs.report }}"
```

### Check CSV file generated by JavaScript `license-checker` package

```yaml
jobs:
  license_check:
    runs-on: ubuntu-lastest
    steps:
    ...
    - name: Check license-checker CSV file without headers
      id: license_check_report
      uses: pilosus/action-pip-license-checker@v3
      with:
        external: 'npm-license-checker.csv'
        external-format: 'csv'
        external-options: '{:skip-header true}'
        fail: 'StrongCopyleft,NetworkCopyleft,Other,Error'
        fails-only: true
        exclude: 'your-company-name.*'
        exclude-license: '(?i)copyright'
        totals: true
        verbose: 1
        github-token: ${{ secrets.OAUTH_TOKEN_GITHUB }}
        ...
```

### Check JSON file generated by Android `gradle-license-plugin` package

```yaml
jobs:
  license_check:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    ...
    - name: Check gradle-license-plugin JSON file
      id: license_check_report
      uses: pilosus/action-pip-license-checker@v3
      with:
        external: 'gradle-license-plugin.json'
        external-format: 'gradle'
        external-options: '{:fully-qualified-names false}'
        fail: 'StrongCopyleft,NetworkCopyleft,Other,Error'
        fails-only: true
        exclude: 'your-company-name.*'
        totals: true
        ...
```

### Check Plist file generated by iOS `cocoapods-acknowledgements` package

```yaml
jobs:
  license_check:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    ...
    - name: Check cocoapods-acknowledgements Plist file
      id: license_check_report
      uses: pilosus/action-pip-license-checker@v3
      with:
        external: 'cocoapods-acknowledgements.plist'
        external-format: 'cocoapods'
        external-options: '{:skip-header true :skip-footer true}'
        fail: 'StrongCopyleft,NetworkCopyleft,Other,Error'
        fails-only: true
        exclude: 'your-company-name.*'
        totals: true
        ...
```

### Generate a report as a downloadable file

By using the `report-format` input field and a third-party
[actions/upload-artifact](https://github.com/actions/upload-artifact)
action you can save the report as a file and download it. In the
following example the license check report is generated in
`json-pretty` format and saved as a GitHub workflow artifact:

```yaml
jobs:
  license_check:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    ...
      - name: Check licenses
        id: license_check_report
        uses: pilosus/action-pip-license-checker@v3
        with:
          external: 'licenses.csv'
          external-format: 'csv'
          external-options: '{:skip-header false :package-column-index 0 :license-column-index 2}'
          report-format: 'json-pretty'
          formatter: '%-65s %-65s %-20s %-40s'
          totals: true
          headers: true
          fail: 'StrongCopyleft,NetworkCopyleft,Other,Error'
          verbose: 1
      - name: Save report
        if: ${{ always() }}
        run: echo "${{ steps.license_check_report.outputs.report }}" > license-report.json
      - name: Upload artifact
        if: ${{ always() }}
        uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
        with:
          name: license-report
          path: license-report.json
```

Then the report can be downloaded as an [archived
artifact](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/managing-workflow-runs/downloading-workflow-artifacts).
