Scorecard "Token-Permissions" is 0/10; 3 cyclic import chains — pervasive coupling

  • GPL-3.0 is copyleft — check downstream compatibility

What would improve this?

  • Use as dependency Concerns to Mixed if: relicense under MIT/Apache-2.0 (rare for established libs)
  • Deploy as-is Mixed to Healthy if: bring "Token-Permissions" to ≥3/10 (see scorecard report)
