Do you have a favorite software dependencies license analysis tool? I've been trying a bunch of them methodically and they're either paid products for companies or baffling to use. I can de-baffle them eventually, of course, but I’m getting tired of slogging through hard-to-use software in my old age. I’ll slog through ONE good one if y'all tell me it's worth it.

Use case: ferreting out viral GPL because in this case I can't have it.
