License Obligations tab
The License Obligations tab lists the obligations associated with the selected license. The tab helps you understand what you are allowed to do under the license, what you must do to remain compliant, and what the license explicitly forbids.
The tab contains the following columns:
-
Can do – Actions that are explicitly permitted under the license terms.
-
Must do – Actions that you are required to perform to comply with the license, such as providing attribution or making source code available.
-
Cannot do – Actions that are not allowed under the license, such as using the software for a restricted purpose or redistributing it under certain conditions.
When you point to an item in any of these columns, a tooltip appears that explains the meaning of the obligation in more detail.
There are no license obligations for custom licenses, inventories that do not have a license, or inventories that have multiple licenses.
