Hi,

Oh, there are two main data inputs both queried from the SW heritage REST API:

1. If a file is there: FOSSology passes a hash of the file to the API server 
and then the server responds if the file is there

2. Some metadata about the file: in this case we have picked license 
information from SW Heritage's own license scanning. It is redundant, if you 
did the fossology scan on your server already. but we felt it could be extended 
in future with more metadata once the API is offering this (for example, we 
would find inetresting in which project(s) or URL locations the file was found)

Redundant: the SW Heritage license results are processed in the FOSSology as an 
agent, so it is similar to having nomos and monk reporting license findings ...

Will have a look at the wiki to clarify it.

Kind regards,
  Michael
