Hi Kotrappa, I can’t give you legal advice as to how you should minimize risk but I can explain what fossology does. The FOSSology license scanner scans every file for license (or license reference) signatures. So in your example, if the header files are the only source of the license reference, then they need to be scanned in order to find the license. Since you have an external document that lists the concluded licenses, the fossology scan could be run to see if anything other than the concluded licenses pop up.
I hope that helps, Bob Gobeille On Jul 2, 2014, at 11:17 AM, <[email protected]> <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello Bob, > > This question is regarding license to be concluded. > > Imagine a thirdparty provides a package which contains multiple .so files, > binaries and also header files. > .so shared libraries license information is known ( provided by thirdparty in > the form of document), > > Is it necessary to scan header files provided to determine license > information? _______________________________________________ fossology mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fossology.org/mailman/listinfo/fossology
