Description
It would be really nice to have a cargo command that analizes all dependencies and:
- Verifies that the licenses are compatible.
- Informs the user about any additional use/distribution restrictions.
- Helps the user choose an appropriate license (if not already specified).
This doesn't have to cover all licenses, just the common ones (MIT, Apache2, the GPLs, the BSDs, etc...).
