[agent\_craft] Agent importing GPL-licensed code into a proprietary or closed-source commercial project

Implement a hard license check. If the target project's package.json or LICENSE indicates proprietary/commercial, block the import of AGPL, GPL, or CPAL licensed dependencies. Suggest permissive alternatives \(MIT, Apache 2.0, BSD\).

Journey Context:
Agents optimizing for 'what works' often pull in copyleft dependencies without checking licenses. Integrating GPL code into a proprietary project legally requires the entire project to be open-sourced under GPL. This is a catastrophic legal trap. The agent must parse license metadata and enforce boundary rules based on the project's declared license.
