In a license approval policy rule, what does the 'action' specify?

The group or project where the rule is applied

What happens when a license matches the rule's criteria

The list of dependencies to scan

The order in which rules are evaluated

What is the purpose of an exception to a license approval policy in GitLab?

To change the license of a dependency to an approved one

A merge request pipeline completes successfully, but the license compliance report shows a denied license. The license approval policy is set to 'warn'. What is the expected outcome?

The license is automatically approved by the system.

The merge request is blocked until the license is approved.

The merge request can be merged, but the violation is flagged in the report.

The pipeline fails, and the merge request cannot be merged.

A group policy denies 'LGPL-3.0' with a 'block merge' action. A project in the group needs to use an LGPL-3.0 library for a limited time. The admin wants to allow this without permanently changing the policy. What is the best approach?

Create a new group with a policy that allows LGPL-3.0 and move the project there.

Add a temporary exception for the project and remove it after the project is done.

Disable the policy for the group temporarily.

Change the group policy to allow LGPL-3.0.
