semantic-release-license automates license verification during semantic-release workflows. It ensures your npm package includes a license, reads its content, and validates it against specified criteria like SPDX ID or allowable license texts. This helps maintain license compliance, preventing accidental publishing with incorrect or missing licenses. Configurations are customizable within your package.json or a dedicated configuration file, making it easy to integrate and enforce licensing policies. It is a reliable tool for maintaining legal compliance.
