Section 1
The premise
AI can summarize license obligations and flag risky transitive deps, but legal sign-off stays human.
What AI does well here
- Summarize obligations of each license in your dep tree.
- Flag copyleft contamination risk via transitive imports.
- Draft NOTICE and ATTRIBUTIONS files.
What AI cannot do
- Provide legal advice on dual-licensed or unusual licenses.
- Detect contractual obligations outside the license text.
