Istio License Generation Guide

Usage

Note: This tool requires https://github.com/benbalter/licensee for --summary and --match_detail to work. The --branch flag is only used in generating links to licenses in the appropriate branch in istio/istio. Licenses under manual_append have been manually copied and OK'd (usually because the package source only contains a link).

Generate complete dump of every license, suitable for including in release build/binary image:

  go run get_dep_licenses.go --branch release-1.0.1

CSV format output with one package per line:

  go run get_dep_licenses.go --summary --branch release-1.0.1

Detailed info about how closely each license matches official text:

  go run get_dep_licenses.go --match-detail --branch release-1.0.1

Use a different branch from the current one. Will do git checkout to that branch and back to the current on completion. This can only be used from inside Istio repo:

  go run get_dep_licenses.go --branch release-1.0.1 --checkout

Check if all licenses are Google approved. Outputs lists of restricted, reciprocal, missing, and unknown status licenses.

  go run get_dep_licenses.go --check
