- Description:
- The FOSSology project started out as an internal development effort at Hewlett
Packard Company (HP). As part of HP's own internal IT governance process, we
needed a tool that would quickly and accurately describe how a given open
source project was licensed. Rather than simply collecting a project's
advertised license (as given at their website or in their documentation), this
tool needed to analyze all of the source code for a given project and
intelligently report all of the licenses being used, based on the license
declarations and tell-tale phrases that identify software licensing.
Thus was born FOSSology - "The study of FOSS." As development progressed, we
quickly realized that the analysis of open source licensing was only one
application of what was quickly becoming a valuable general-purpose software
data mining framework.
HP understands the broad value of these tools for helping IT organizations to
confidently adopt open source software, as well as to uncover what open source
software is being used within their environments. Furthermore, we believe this
tool will be helpful for open source developers and distributors to build a
thorough licensing picture of the projects and packages they produce. Thus it
is being provided to the broader FOSS community with the intent of building a
vibrant, open community of users and contributors who will help make the
framework and the agents as valuable as possible.

- Bump PORTREVISION.
- Should run fine in 8.x now (shm_open path now starts with a slash).
- Avoid harmless rmdir error message when uninstalling.
- Now runs from / instead of /var/tmp (as developers wanted). |
