How to Request a License Review in JFrog Catalog

Use case: When attempting to download a package with an unknown or missing license, the process may be blocked, causing delays in your workflow. To resolve this, you can submit a License Review Request to the JFrog research team. The review process ensures the correct license is identified, improving data accuracy and preventing future disruptions.

Steps:

1. On the package details page, click Request a License Review button in the top-right corner.

2. In the Request a License Review form:

   • Select whether the review applies to the Current Version or All Versions.
   • (Optional) Enter a Suggested License (for example: MIT, Apache-2.0).
   • (Optional) Provide a Source URL to help the JFrog research team verify your information.
   • (Optional) Add a Contact Email to receive status notifications.

📘

💡 Tip: The email you provide will be used to notify you when the review is complete.

3. Click Submit to send the request.

📘

⚠️ Note: Once submitted, you cannot cancel or edit the request, and you cannot resubmit the same request for the same package version.

4. After submission, you will receive an email confirmation that your request has been logged.
5. When the JFrog team completes the manual review, you will receive another email with the results and a link to view them in the UI.

Results

• The JFrog research team reviews the package license.
• Once validated, the corrected license appears in the Catalog UI.
• You can track reviewed requests directly in Catalog.
