Hello,

  thanks for reaching out to us. To your questions:

*) is source code leaking out from a fossology server? Answer:


  1.  Usually  not , the fossology solution is entire self contained. You can 
run fossology entirely without access to the internet. The main point why you 
would need Internet access is about updating your OS and packages.
  2.  But please understand that despite the FOSSology server can run 
everything on its own database, it your responsibility to secure your server 
installation from being hacked. One first task would be to enable a connection 
using https.
  3.  How do Monk or Nomos work? The scan for license statements, not source 
code snippets. As such, all the database information required to identify 
licensing statements in your uploads / source code comes with the installation 
of the fossology. In fact all the information is put in a file on the dev side 
for convenience to add new licenses (ref. 
https://github.com/fossology/fossology/blob/master/install/db/licenseRef.json)
  4.  From the next version / latest master, FOSSology will be able, if you 
activate this, to query the software heritage REST API: fossology computes a 
SHA256 value and sends this to the Software Heritage API. You can test this 
functionality in 3.8.0-RC1

*) Regarding the export of files only: I think there is a featzre to limit SPDX 
reporting to only files where licenses have been found, which can be switched 
on in the Conf setion -> SPDX Report Settings -> Ignore files with no info in 
SPDX … when you have opened an upload. Is that what you were looking for? This 
made especially for uploads where only few files contain license information 
and 1000 other files do not. Then SPDX files still list all files with 
NOASSERTION. If you do not want that there is this switch.

Hope these answers help and please follow up on FOSSology, if you see the need 
for clarification,

Michael
