🔡3rd Party Package Licenses
Arnica identifies license risks in your open source dependencies and surfaces violations based on each license's classification. By default, Arnica follows Google's open source license classification framework, with the option to customize classifications to fit your organization's compliance policy.

Customizing license policies
License classification risk levels can be adjusted, and individual licenses can be explicitly overridden as forbidden or approved.
Changes take effect the next time a full source code scan runs (daily on paid plans) or on the next event triggered by the code risk policy, such as a code push or pull request.
Modify risk severity
Navigate to the policies page and expand Code Risks then Licenses.
Change the risk severity of any classification level by clicking the preferred severity chip.
Click Save at the bottom of the policy section.
Override forbidden and approved licenses
Individual licenses can be explicitly marked as forbidden or approved, regardless of their classification level.
Navigate to the policies page and expand Code Risks then Licenses.
Click the + next to Forbidden or Approved in the Overrides panel.
Search for and select the license.
The selected licenses appear in the overrides section. Validate and click Save at the bottom of the policy section.
