-- About FOSSology --
FOSSology is a Free Open Source Software (FOSS) project built around an open
and modular architecture for analyzing software. 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
