Summary
A German-language codecentric blog post by Johannes Barop (July 2026) asking whether coding agents check a library’s license before using it. It reports experiments showing that agents usually reproduce library usage from training data without inspecting the library, so license additions, machine-readable markers and code markers placed in the library never reach them, and only a runtime notice written to stderr does — which is effectively the same technique as prompt injection. It concludes that license compliance remains the consumer’s responsibility and that a license check should be anchored in the harness, for example as an automatic step before every merge.
