       | Hey folks,
       | 
       | I built Feluda, a Rust-based CLI tool that scans your project's
       | dependencies and flags restrictive licenses before they become a
       | problem.
       | 
       | It currently supports Rust, Node.js, and Go projects. It checks
       | for GPL, AGPL, SSPL, and other restrictive licenses that may
       | limit how you use your project commercially.
       | 
       | Try it out:
       | 
       | ``` cargo install feluda feluda ```
       | 
       | I'd love feedback! Are there specific license edge cases you'd
       | like covered? Features you'd want in a CI/CD setup? Happy to
       | discuss and iterate!

         | npm? Not sure if you guys are willing/ comfortable to publish
         | there as well, but did notice you already have Node support for
         | scanning

       | I think you have some bugs. I ran it on my project which has 60
       | direct dependencies in my "go.mod" file, and feluda's output says
       | `Total dependencies scanned: 2`
       | 
       | EDIT: there was a package.json in the same folder, that's what
       | caused the "bug"

       | Any reason the repo license is MIT but the crate is CC-BY-NC-
       | ND-4.0? The latter is ironic, given this project's scope :)

       | Amazing work. Does something similar exist for Python? Would love
       | to have something similar integrated for Python dependencies from
       | pypi as well.

         | Seems like Python support is up next for this project:
