How to license my code if a component is gpl?
For projects that include vendored libraries under different licenses, it is becoming common to use Debian's copyright file format to describe which licenses apply to which source files. The data is usually placed in a file called /.reuse/dep5 (see the FSFE's Reuse Software project). If you want to enable fine-grained license checks, you can also include a machine-readable SPDX-License-Identifier line in each file.
