Hello,

thank you for all the responses so far. I guess we will have a look at 
fossology and fossas, but we would prefer a solution which does not require an 
additional thirdparty service. We know that there are different types of GPL 
licenses which bring different obligations. 

We are searching for an automatic mechanism to detect linking to a shared 
library from a GPL package. We thought there might be a way to utilize the 
build system’s shared library resolver which is used for the automatic runtime 
added runtime dependencies [1].

For static libraries we found that they are disabled by default [2].
