Generate licenses per GOOS/GOARCH build target by Copilot · Pull Request #12611 · cli/cli

Copilot · 2026-02-03T18:26:23Z

License generation only varied by GOOS, not GOARCH. Dependencies differ by architecture (e.g., golang.org/x/sys vs golang.org/x/sys/unix), so license files must match actual build targets.

Changes

script/licenses: Added GOOS/GOARCH matrix from .goreleaser.yml, iterates 9 combinations instead of 3 GOOS values
script/licenses-check: Updated to verify all architecture-specific license files
File naming: third-party-licenses.{goos}-{goarch}.md replaces third-party-licenses.{goos}.md
Output: 9 license files (linux: 386/arm/amd64/arm64, darwin: amd64/arm64, windows: 386/amd64/arm64)

# Define GOOS and their corresponding GOARCH values based on .goreleaser.yml
declare -A platform_archs=(
    ["linux"]="386 arm amd64 arm64"
    ["darwin"]="amd64 arm64"
    ["windows"]="386 amd64 arm64"
)

for goos in linux darwin windows ; do
    for goarch in ${platform_archs[$goos]} ; do
        GOOS="${goos}" GOARCH="${goarch}" go-licenses report ./... \
            --template .github/licenses.tmpl --ignore github.com/cli/cli \
            > third-party-licenses.${goos}-${goarch}.md
    done
done

Original prompt

Update the script/licenses logic so it produces licenses for all possible build targets resulting from the matrix of:

GOOS values listed in script/licenses

GOARCH values used in release workflows or found in release artifacts

This ensures that license generation matches exactly what you ship in releases. The updated script should iterate through each GOOS and, for each, all GOARCHes used in releases/workflows. The output should produce the respective licenses for each combination (e.g. linux/amd64, darwin/arm64, etc).
