The License Block policy prevents addition of packages with specific open source licenses to a registry.
This enables registries where specific open source licenses are blocked, ensuring license compliance from problematic licenses.
What open source licenses to block is configured in the policy settings. The policy accepts defintions of both standardized SPDX licenses as well as custom licenses.
Open source license definitions are not case-sensitive, providing a forgiving and secure user experience.
Example use cases: License Block Policy
- Prevent copyleft licenses in registries
- Prevent non-compatible licenses in registries
- Prevent non-compliant licenses in registries
