The shipped CREDITS predated the fork's dependency work: 38 of the
modules in the current go.mod, among them lestrrat-go/jwx, go-tpm,
go-spiffe and the charmbracelet family, had no entry at all, while
entries lingered for modules no longer in the build. An attribution
file that silently drifts from go.mod is worse than none, so it is now
generated, not curated.
buildscripts/gen-credits.sh (make credits) rebuilds the file from the
licenses of every module go list -deps reports for the main package --
the set actually linked into the silo binary, so test-only and tool
dependencies stay out. Entries keep the established name / URL /
license-text layout. New over the old file:
- Modules replaced in go.mod are annotated with the repository that
actually serves them, so the pgsty/silo-console, pgsty/mc and
pgsty/silo-pkg forks are named next to their upstream import paths.
- Bundled NOTICE files are reproduced after the license text, which
Apache License 2.0 section 4(d) requires when redistributing; 23
modules carry one.
- minio/colorjson, minio/csvparser and minio/filepath publish no
license file at all; they repackage Go standard library code and
their sources carry the Go Authors' BSD-style header, so the Go
project license is reproduced for them with a note saying why.
- The Go license text itself comes from the pinned golang.org/x/sys
module rather than GOROOT, because Homebrew's Go omits
GOROOT/LICENSE and the module copy is version-locked.
check-gen now runs the generator and fails on a CREDITS diff, the same
treatment go.mod and go.sum already get, so dependency changes cannot
leave stale attributions behind. Output is deterministic: two runs are
byte-identical, and LC_ALL=C sorting plus version-pinned inputs keep it
that way across machines.
