There’s some possible confusion on the license of your repository when you combine other open-source code.

The module vendor/github.com/weaveworks/common claims its license as the LGPL-3 license in the COPYING.LGPL-3 file. However, the license of your whole project is shown as the Apache-2.0 license in LICENSE, i.e., less strict than LGPL-3 on license terms, which may impact the whole license compatibility in your repository, thus confusing subsequent users and bringing possible legal and financial risks.

You can select another proper license for your repository, or update this license with exceptions for specific modules
