File a Linear license-review ticket for risky model adds
When a PR introduces a Hugging Face model with a non-permissive or unknown license, it opens a Linear issue assigned to the legal-review team with the model, license.

- LogicRoute only risky or unknown licenses
- OutputCreate Linear license-review issueLinear
What it does
Turns a borderline license into a tracked review task instead of a blocking wall. When a Hugging Face model dependency lands with a copyleft, custom, gated, or missing license, this workflow creates a Linear issue so a human reviewer can make the call, with all the context already gathered.
When to use it
Use it when your policy is "escalate, don't auto-block" — teams that want legal or eng-lead sign-off on questionable licenses rather than a hard merge gate. Pairs well with a hard-block workflow that handles the clearly-forbidden cases.
How it works
- 1A GitHub pull request event triggers the run.
- 2Newly added Hugging Face model IDs are pulled from the diff.
- 3The Hugging Face API resolves each model's license and gated status from its model card.
- 4A logic step routes only licenses that are non-permissive, custom, gated, or undeclared into the escalation path; clean permissive licenses exit quietly.
- 5A Linear issue is created on the license-review team with the model name, license tag, PR author, and PR URL, labeled for triage.
