Licenseplate is a Chrome extension developed by Michael Weiss. It falls under the category of Browsers and the subcategory of Add-ons & Tools. This free extension aims to help users detect insufficiently licensed code on GitHub.

The main features of Licenseplate include placing corresponding banners with detailed license information at the top of the page when browsing repositories on GitHub. This allows users to quickly identify the licensing status of code. Additionally, the extension adds license badges to user pins, which are color-coded to indicate the permissiveness of the license. This visual representation helps users understand the licensing restrictions of different code repositories.

Licenseplate also provides a one-click issue template to request missing licenses. This feature allows users to easily report repositories that do not have proper licensing information, promoting open-source compliance.

Please note that Licenseplate is distributed under an MIT license, and neither the extension nor its maintainer provide legal advice. Users should refer to the license for detailed information and use the extension as a tool to assist in identifying licensing issues.
