ScanCode
_ detects licenses, copyrights, package manifests, direct dependencies and more in
source code orbinary files.
ScanCode license detection uses multiple techniques to accurately detect licenses based on
automatons, inverted indexes and multiple sequence alignments. As the detection supports approximate
matching, there are many unknown
detections, or multiple approximate matches.
The goal of this project is to improve the accuracy of license detection by leveraging ScanCode scan data.
It is a ScanCode
post-scan
plugin for direct use in scans. In future we plan to add
scancode.io
pipelines, with better issue review and reporting features.
This project aims to:
