License compatibility #7

Open mosteo opened 6 years ago

Side project that would enable search for compatible licensed projects. Current search already can be used on license abbreviations.

Additionally a new command check licenses could check license compatibility using the spdx crate (already in use by Alire). Similar to what the 'deny' plugin of cargo does. See https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/cargo-deny#licenses.

Yes, this is in the spirit of the idea. Also alr with could warn/fail when you try to add an incompatible-licensed dependency to the ones already in use.
