Find an alternative to liccheck #290

Description

@leahaeusel

Description of the Issue:

We currently check the license compatibility of our dependencies with the package liccheck. However, the current liccheck version depends on the pkg_resources module, which has been deprecated with setuptools==82.0.0.

Since liccheck does not seem to be maintained anymore (last update Sept. 2023), we should find an alternative that is compatible with the latest setuptools versions.

Proposed Solution:

Find an alternative to liccheck with at least the same capabilities that

  • does not depend on pkg_resources
  • checks all our dependencies (requirements.txt, dev-requirements.txt, fourc_requirements.txt, ...)
