When I’m defining a license for my open software project, should I consider my project’s dependencies and based on them define license for my project?
Can anybody give me an example of license infringement in terms of dependencies licenses and my project license?
Yes, you should learn about which usage terms your dependencies have, so you know what you can do with the code.
If you have multiple dependencies, you need to check whether you can use them alltogether and under which conditions.
This can influence your own licence choice as well, as most software licenses explicitly operate that way.
