generate¶

Create NOTICE and THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES files for legal attribution.

Overview¶

Feluda guides you through interactive generation and scripted exports alike. These files provide the legal attribution required when redistributing software with third-party dependencies.

Interactive Mode¶

Let Feluda prompt you for which artifact to create.

feluda generate

Feluda prompts for NOTICE or THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES and renders the chosen file in-place.

Interactive options:

NOTICE - Concise attribution summary
THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES - Full license texts

Generate with Options¶

Target a specific ecosystem and outbound license without prompts.

feluda generate --language rust --project-license MIT

Feluda limits its analysis to the requested language and projects compatibility calculations against MIT.

Options:

Flag	Description
`--language <LANG>`	Limit to a specific ecosystem
`--project-license <LICENSE>`	SPDX identifier for compatibility checks
`--path <PATH>`	Output directory for generated files

Specify Output Path¶

Point Feluda elsewhere when compliance files must live in another workspace.

feluda generate --path /opt/service

Feluda writes the selected artifacts into /opt/service with the relevant dependencies included.

Generated Files¶

File	Purpose
`NOTICE`	Concise attribution summaries for distribution
`THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES`	Full license texts for downstream consumers

Note

Use NOTICE for concise attribution summaries and THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES when downstream consumers require the full license texts.

CI/CD Usage¶

Automate generation in pipelines:

# Generate NOTICE (option 1)
echo "1" | feluda generate

# Generate THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES (option 2)
echo "2" | feluda generate

# Generate both
echo "1" | feluda generate && echo "2" | feluda generate
