Summary

  • IBM License Checker found a violation in frankban/quicktest referencing LGPL license.

Details

  • I don't see any reference to quicktest in the cast code.
  • Can this module be removed from go.sum?
  • This is needed ASAP in order for IBM to continue using this module

Thanks!

@Spiderman5000 quicktwst is only used in test code, it will never end up in any compiled binaries that uses cast as a library.

Go modules does not have a concept of dev dependencies, so they show up in these scans.

This is essentially a false positive check, because it's incorrect to use go.sum for checks like this.
