Features & Capabilities

GitHub License Insights helps you quickly understand repository licenses directly on GitHub.

Instead of digging through LICENSE files, this extension shows a clear summary of what is allowed and restricted for each repository.

Features:

Detects licenses using the GitHub API
Shows allowed uses (commercial use, modification, distribution)
Highlights restrictions (copyleft, disclosure requirements, etc.)
Warns when repositories use mixed or complex licensing
Works automatically on all GitHub repository pages

No tracking, no analytics, no data collection. Everything runs locally in your browser.

Perfect for developers, engineers, and anyone evaluating open source projects.

Is GitHub License Insights Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

GitHub License Insights requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

GitHub License Insights is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
