Run an open source review board that gates incoming dependencies on license compatibility, sets the policy for contributing back, and requires a security review before adoption. Use when an organization needs consistent control over which OSS it pulls in and what it publishes.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Open source review board An OSS review board is how a company keeps open source from becoming a legal and security liability it discovers too late. It fails when it is either a bottleneck everyone routes around or a rubber stamp that approves by default: dependencies arrive with incompatible licenses, employees push code to public repos with no policy, and a known-vulnerable package sits in the build because no one checked. The board's job is to make the safe path the easy path. ## Method 1. **Gate every new dependency on license compatibility first.** Maintain an allow list and a deny list by license: permissive licenses like MIT, BSD, and Apache 2.0 usually clear; strong copyleft like GPL and AGPL needs review against how you distribute; anything unlicensed or with a custom license stops for a human. Automate the check in CI so the gate runs on every pull request, not on memory. 2. **Watch for license traps beyond the headline.** Attribution requirements, patent clauses, the AGPL network-use trigger, and the difference between linking and bundling. A permissive-looking package with a transitive GPL …

How to install
mdr add amey-thakur/ai-skills/open-source-review-board@sha256:89dad4a7e313305cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260728.fac4544, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
