Existing modules include license > analysis, meta data extraction, and MIME type identification. > This open source software tool analyzes a given set of > software packages, and reports items such as the software > licenses used by these packages. > > More than simply reporting, "Package X uses license Y," the > FOSSology tool attempts to analyze every file within the > package to determine its license. > The license report is thus an aggregate of all of the > different licenses found to be in use by a package. A single > package may be labeled as "GPL" > but contain files that use other licenses (BSD, OSL, or any > of the hundreds of other licenses). Even if an exact license > is unknown, the license may be identifiable by common license phrases. > > The FOSSology Project started as an internal software > development effort within Hewlett-Packard's Open Source and > Linux Organization. The tool evolved over several years at HP > from a few simple shell scripts to the much more > comprehensive tool you see today. > > Enjoy! > The FOSSology team > _______________________________________________ > fossology mailing list > [email protected] > http://fossology.org/mailman/listinfo/fossology > > _______________________________________________ fossology mailing list [email protected] http://fossology.org/mailman/listinfo/fossology
