Description

In this video, we explore the capabilities of FOSSology, a semi-automated license management tool designed to streamline the process of identifying and managing software licenses. We begin by demonstrating how to upload a software package, which triggers the automated text scanning tools to extract licensing information efficiently. Viewers will see the intuitive web interface that facilitates manual curation of the scanning results, allowing users to refine and verify the detected licenses. Finally, we showcase the tool's ability to export the curated licensing data in the industry-standard SPDX format, ensuring compliance and enhancing transparency in software licensing. This video serves as a comprehensive guide for developers looking to leverage FOSSology for effective license management.
