  "task_performed": "Decides whether an open source dependency's license **actually obligates you** — given how your project ships.\n\nGeneric license scanners answer a different question (\"what license is this?\") and then warn on everything. LicenseGuard evaluates the license against your distribution model, so the same license produces different verdicts:\n\n| How you ship | AGPL-3.0 dependency |\n|---|---|\n| SaaS (network-accessible) | **blocked** — §13 network clause |\n| Internal use only | allowed |\n| Distributed binary / on-prem | **blocked** — inherited GPL distribution terms |\n| **devDependency** (never in the artifact) | **allowed** |\n\nThat last row is the point. A build-time linter under AGPL never ships, so it triggers nothing — but tools that warn on it anyway train people to ignore every warning they produce.\n\nThe same distinctions run through the rest of the license landscape, and they are not interchangeable:\n\n- **GPL** obligations attach to *distribution*.
