FOSSology by HP
The FOSSology project by HP is geared towards analyzing open source programs in order to determine under what licenses the various pieces of codes can be classified under. The main thrust of the project is anchored on the premise that although a certain application software like the GPL for example may be classified under a particular license, some of the underlying codes can be potentially classified with other licenses. HP intends to assemble an active contributor�s base by providing the gateway to the open source community in to assist in developing additional features to achieve a valuable data mining tool to analyze software.
