# License Guard

Enforce licensing on every commit. Copyright, dual-license, CLA. Auto-fix mode.

Licensing is one of those things that's easy to set up and even easier to forget. A new repo gets created without a LICENSE file. Copyright headers drift out of date. Someone adds a CLA requirement but never enforces it.

License Guard checks all of this automatically. Every commit, every repo.

## What It Does

* Verifies correct copyright notices
* Checks license type matches your policy
* Confirms LICENSE files exist and are current
* Interactive first-run setup for new repos
* Toolbox-aware: checks every sub-tool in a monorepo
* Auto-fix mode repairs issues without manual editing

## Install

```bash theme={null}
ldm install wipcomputer/wip-ai-devops-toolbox
```

## Usage

```bash theme={null}
wip-license-guard check          # check current repo
wip-license-guard check --fix    # auto-fix issues
```

On first run in a new repo, it walks you through setup: which license, what copyright line, whether to require a CLA. After that, it just enforces.

## Interfaces

CLI.

## Part of LDM OS

License Guard is part of [AI DevOps Toolbox](/skills/core/devops-toolbox), which installs into [LDM OS](https://github.com/wipcomputer/wip-ldm-os).
