GitHub Actions: Check Go Dependency Licenses
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
By utilizing the neat go-licenses[0] tool, scanning the cached Go
dependencies against an allow list of licenses, which is currently
leaned from Icinga DB, works quite like a charm.

This, however, only includes Go code and produces warnings for
(transitive) included Go Assembly code[1]. If we are planning to include
other non-Go artefacts in the future, those also might need to be
identified - REUSE[2] might help there.
