allowDependency

Allow an artifact with a specific groupId, artifactId, and version. This is useful for artifacts which contain no license data or have invalid/incorrect license data.

licensee {
  allowDependency('com.example', 'example', '1.0')
}

A reason string can be supplied to document why the dependency is being allowed despite missing or invalid license data.

licensee {
  allowDependency('com.jetbrains', 'annotations', '16.0.1') {
    because 'Apache-2.0, but typo in license URL fixed in newer versions'
  }
}

Reason strings will be included in validation reports.
