Your Question

When using licensecheck as a pre-commit-hook with poetry and its toml file, i have to enter the

[tool.poetry]
license="xxxxx"

so that the hook does not fail.

In my current setup I have to use a "self" defined license which "licensecheck" does not know:

 WARNING  | licensecheck.license_matrix:licenseLookup:107 - 'LICENSEREF-xxxx' License not identified so falling back to NO_LICENSE

• i am also not able to find it in the list of SPDX known licenses, but then it looks like the included license lists added to "licensecheck" are also not complete compared to https://github.com/spdx/license-list-XML?

Is there any way I can configure licensecheck so it does not fail the pre-commit-hook on this matter?

EDIT:
i found that i can set the license to "proprietary", the warning is gone - but still the pre-commit hook fails:

# file pyproject.toml
[tool.poetry]
license = "Proprietary"

# file .pre-commit-config.yaml
  - repo: https://github.com/FHPythonUtils/LicenseCheck
    rev: "2024.3"
    hooks:
      - id: licensecheck
        stages: [pre-commit]

Thanks in advance!
