# Per-dependency exceptions to the allowlist above. Each flagged

# build machine — not distributed, not a derivative work — so its
# license imposes no obligations on the published artifacts:
# - sonarqube-scan-action (fork-sonar.yml): LGPL-3.0 CI action.
# - sonar-maven-plugin (pluginManagement): LGPL-3.0 build plugin.
# - lombok (performance-test 'lombok' profile, provided scope):
# MIT-licensed, but GitHub's licensee reports its LICENSE as
# LicenseRef-bad-non-standard (NOASSERTION) — a misdetection.
