AI Model License Lint

Runs the same checker as the npm package @readystack/ai-model-license-lint on a Node.js runtime that pip installs for you (nodejs-wheel-binaries) - no system Node.js needed. Your files are checked locally.

Reads the open-weight model IDs in your code and names the licence clause that binds you - 22 rules, 17 findings on a 33-line fixture

Install

ai-model-license-lint file

Node 18+. The same 22 rules as the VS Code extension, from a terminal or CI.

Free

• Scans the file you have open and names, for every open-weight model identifier, the exact licence clause that binds you and the case that breaks it - 22 rules, in VS Code and in the browser, no account. On the bundled 33-line fixture it returns 17 findings, 5 of them blocking, naming 7 licences; on the clean fixture it returns 0.
• --rules lists every rule

With a licence ($29 once)

• Exports the evidence: a generated NOTICE / attribution file and a dated per-model obligation report for the whole workspace, in the form procurement and counsel ask for, plus a CI exit code so a new model ID cannot land unreviewed.

Outside technology counsel bills roughly USD 350-600 per hour for an open-source and model-licence review, repeated each time the model list changes
