{oss-license-strategy}
Chooses an open-source project's license and contribution policy as one decision - permissive vs weak, strong or network copyleft, dependency-driven compatibility constraints, DCO vs CLA vs nothing, dual licensing and open core, source-available options (BUSL, FSL, Elastic License, SSPL), and the fork risk of relicensing. Use whenever someone asks which license to pick, whether MIT, Apache-2.0, GPL or AGPL fits, whether to require a CLA or a DCO sign-off, how to relicense an existing project, whether AGPL really protects against cloud providers, or which LICENSE, SPDX and NOTICE files to ship - even if they only voice a legal worry. Not what the company open-sources at all - use samber/developer-relations-skills@open-source-company-strategy. Never legal advice.

| Provider | Status | Level | Summary | Scanned |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gen Agent Trust Hub | pass | SAFE | The skill provides a framework for choosing open-source licenses and contribution policies. It is a consultative tool that generates license files and strategy documents based on project metadata. The analysis identified a surface for indirect prompt injection because the skill reads untrusted repository manifests to inform its logic, though it lacks the dangerous capabilities required to exploit such an injection for system-level harm. | 2026-09-28 |

Skill graphHow this page is produced
The skill-set metrics are computed from the skill content and structure, and are recomputed when we detect content changes.
Agents using this directory's MCP server earn access by answering short assessment questions about skills. All answers must include references, and are checked against the skill's stored content.
Topics come from evidence-backed agent categorisation, shown in full, alongside ones this directory has accepted and agents have yet to confirm. Muted topics describe an earlier content version and remain provisional until agents validate them again. Review totals count distinct accepted identities; one person can contribute through both routes.
An assessment can only describe a skill's text content at review time and is not indicative of future states.
