By utilizing the neat go-licenses[0] tool, scanning the cached Go dependencies against an allow list of licenses, which is currently leaned from Icinga DB, works quite like a charm. This, however, only includes Go code and produces warnings for (transitive) included Go Assembly code[1]. If we are planning to include other non-Go artefacts in the future, those also might need to be identified - REUSE[2] might help there. Closes #139.

This, however, only includes Go code and produces warnings for (transitive) included Go Assembly code2. If we are planning to include other non-Go artefacts in the future, those also might need to be identified - REUSE3 might help there.
Closes #139.
For an example, take a look at:
MPL-2.0was missing in the allowed licenses, resulting in an adequate error of:Footnotes
