  2. Attribution - Current LICENSE file properly acknowledges NVIDIA AgentIQ influence
  3. Future monitoring - Use tools like pip-licenses to track dependency changes
  4. Dependency updates - Review licenses when adding new dependencies

Verification Commands

To verify current dependency licenses:

# Install license checker
uv pip install pip-licenses

# Check all package licenses
pip-licenses --format=markdown --with-urls

# Check for GPL licenses specifically
pip-licenses | grep -i gpl || echo "No GPL licenses found"
