Feature Details
Currently, one can only provide package name in ignore_packages list. Package licence might change over time, so it would be nice if one could provide package name and current package licence. This way, exclude would stop working on licence change for additional safety.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe
There are some packages that are open source, but are missing licence metadata. I am adding them to ignored_packages, but would like to know if licence was changed (either from no licence metadata to valid licence metadata, or from licence that is acceptable to licence that is not compliant with my project).
Describe the solution you'd like
One could add licence name along with package name , e.g.
[tool.licensecheck]
ignore_packages = [
'mypackage,Unknown',
'pylint,GPL-2.0-or-later',
]
