Possibly — and you can know today. When a vendor changes its licence or price (Oracle JDK 21 updates from 20 October 2026, Docker Desktop for larger companies, Anaconda's repository at 200+ staff, Terraform and Vault under BSL, AGPL libraries), the bill follows the code that still uses it. The free checks below read your own files and name every line that falls under the new terms, with the free replacement.
We read the vendors' own licence, pricing and deprecation pages every day. When something that can bill a company changes, you get one dated email: what changed, from which day, which files it touches, and the free check. Apart from that, three short notes in the first week on checking your own files.

One annual key opens every check on this page and every check we add as vendors change terms — in VS Code, the CLI and CI — with the whole-workspace sweep and the dated report (file, line, licence basis, run date, SHA-256 of each file) that procurement or an audit asks for.
Every check, one year — $149.99
Checking one file stays free without a key.
No. The checks read your files against the vendor's published terms and dates and show where they apply; your own agreement with the vendor governs.
