Check your whole manifest →The license was read from ClearlyDefined, which curates license data for Go modules, then evaluated against each shipping model. Dependencies in this ecosystem are linked statically, which is assumed here. Only the declared license is considered; code copied into a project's own source files is not detected by this method.
LicenseGuard reports information derived from published license texts and dependency manifests. It is not legal advice and using it does not create an attorney-client relationship. Results reflect license metadata as declared; they do not identify every obligation or violation. Consult qualified counsel for decisions that matter.
