Did you check all the current requirements for any infringements? I would like to know how something like this can be done.

Hi @KunalGehlot , I checked the current requirements a while ago and there hasn't been an update since.
To do what is mentioned you have to look at what packages are required for the install of a package this is ether in the setup file or can be in a separate file they reference . if those packages are on github the licence tag should tell you there licence and the process again followed for their dependencies. pypi can also be used to get some of this information

@pietermarsman are you able to review and merge ?

[pettzilla1]

@pietermarsman , do you have any issues with this , if not please could it be merged ?

[pietermarsman]

I checked our current licenses with licensecheck and they are all compatible.

Ideally we want it in cicd, but I did not get that to work just yet. I've created an issue for that.
