Ever since Snyk CLI started bundling its npm packages, we generated an attributions file that was part of the npm package we distributed.
However, since we also distribute single executables, we should expose the attribution information from the CLI interface itself. This PR introduces an
--about
option, with a same importance as--version
. This option will print out the license information if libraries bundled into the Snyk CLI. I choseabout
as a command name following an SO thread.Since
thirdPartyNotice.json
is now a runtime dependency, this PR also moves the file generation step to the main webpack config file.
