**Cause:** A dependency is using a license that is not in the configured [allowed list of licenses][allowed], and the dependency has not been marked [ignored] or [reviewed].
**Resolution:** Review the dependency's usage and specified license with someone familiar with OSS licensing and compliance rules to determine whether the dependency is allowable. Some common resolutions:
1. The dependency's specified license text differed enough from the standard license text that it was not recognized and classified as `other`. If, with human review, the license text is recognizable then update the `license: other` value in the cached metadata file to the correct license.
+ - An updated classification will persist through version upgrades until the detected license contents have changed. The determination is made by [licensee/licensee](https://github.com/licensee/licensee), the library which this tool uses to detect and classify license contents.
1. The dependency might need to be marked as [ignored] or [reviewed] if either of those scenarios are applicable.
1. If the used license should be allowable without review (if your entity has a legal team, they may want to review this assessment), ensure the license SPDX is set as [allowed] in the licensed configuration file.
