  -- 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
