 # Licenses tool
 
-This tool analyzes the dependency tree of a Go package/binary. It can output a report on the libraries used and under what license they can be used. It can also collect all of the license documents, copyright notices and source code into a directory in order to comply with license terms on redistribution.

 ### Dependency contains non-Go code
 
-A warning will be logged when a dependency contains non-Go code. This is because it is not possible to check the non-Go code for further dependencies, which may conceal additional license requirements. You should investigate this code to determine whether it has dependencies and take action to comply with their license terms.
