It occurs to me that uv is in a good position to some kind of license check as part of pre-commit. Especially with PEP 639 recently added.
Maybe it would depend on astral-sh/uv#8156 / astral-sh/uv#10292
In general I can imagine a few options I would be interested in, validate the name of the license, validate the text of the license up to some template (i.e. should match some standard text + copyright lines), only unknown licenses for specifically named dependencies, some distinction on PEP 639 license expressions vs. previous ad-hoc license text.
Not sure how much of an ask this is, understand if it's not a priority for Astral.
