Existing modules include license analysis, meta data extraction, Copyright/URL/email scanner, RPM and Debian package analysis, and MIME type identification. This open source software tool analyzes a given set of software packages, and reports items such as the software licenses used by these packages. More than simply reporting, "Package X uses license Y," the FOSSology tool attempts to analyze every file within the package to determine its license. The license report is thus an aggregate of all of the different licenses found to be in use by a package. A single package may be labeled as "GPL" but contain files that use other licenses (BSD, OSL, or any of the hundreds of other licenses). Even if an exact license is unknown, the license may be identifiable by common license phrases. The FOSSology Project started as an internal software development effort within Hewlett Packard's Open Source and Linux Organization. The tool evolved over several years at HP from a few simple shell scripts to the much more comprehensive tool you see today. Enjoy! The FOSSology team
