Open source license compliance check for a dependency list, a single library, or outbound code. Use when reviewing a manifest, SBOM, or repo for copyleft obligations and license compatibility, when asked whether a library can ship, or when preparing code to be open-sourced.

# /oss-review

Runs an open source license compliance check against the practice profile in `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/ip-legal/CLAUDE.md`. Classifies dependencies by license family, maps obligations to the deployment model, flags license-unknown and non-OSI-posing-as-OSS packages, and recommends actions — comply, replace, remove, seek legal review, seek commercial license.

## Instructions

1. **Load `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/ip-legal/CLAUDE.md`.** If placeholders present, stop and prompt: "Run `/ip-legal:cold-start-interview` first — I need to learn your practice profile (and OSS policy, if any) before I can review." If the practice profile points at an uploaded OSS policy, read that too — it is the source of truth for accepted / review / banned licenses on this team.

2. **Establish the scope:** a dependency list (package.json, requirements.txt, go.mod, Gemfile, Cargo.toml, pom.xml, SBOM), a single library, or outbound code the team is preparing to open-source. If the user passed a path, infer from the file; otherwise ask.

3. **Establish the deployment model** before classifying obligations — SaaS, distributed binary, internal only, or embedded. The same dependency list triggers different obligations depending on this.

4. **Follow the workflow below.** In particular:
   - Read the actual license text, not just metadata — LICENSE files can be wrong, package metadata can be stale.
