Hi Larry, Previously i did scanning for source codes which also have license files. Now i have got the binary files(Let say .exe file) from third party vendor for the same. This binary file is a compiled form of the source code. Since it is a compiled one, it has only header files. It will not have any license files. So it might difficult to find the license types using FOSSology tool. So my question was, if i include the license files while compiling the source code and created the binary file for the same.Now will FOSSology tool be able to find the license type from the binary file?
