Hello FOSSology users,
The FOSSology team is happy to announce the general release of FOSSology
version 2.6.1.
• monk. This is a new license scanner contributed by our friends at
Siemens and TNGTech. Monk looks for complete licenses (as defined in the
database) and reports the percentage match (see also License highlighting
below).
• License highlighting. Now when you view a license you can see exactly
what was added or removed from a license. This works especially well with monk
since monk scans for complete licenses (stored in the fossology database). But
it also works to show you what snippet nomos matched to identify a license.
• New license browser
• fo_license_list has new options to exclude licenses (or directories)
• fo_copyright_list can now list files that contain a copyright, or
list files that do not contain a copyright.
• Many new licenses added
• Old bugs fixed, new ones added. see our issue tracker at
http://fossology.org
Installation and upgrade instructions can be found at

Many thanks to Larry, Vincent, Johannes, Andreas, Daniele, Steffen, Paul,
Oliver, and everyone who have filed bug reports, contributed code,
documentation and made FOSSology a great tool.
For those of you wondering, we never announced version 2.6.0 due to a
performance bug that affected systems with a large database.
Thanks,
Bob Gobeille
FOSSology project leader
