# FOSSology
[![Travis-CI Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/fossology/fossology.png)](https://travis-ci.org/fossology/fossology/)
## About
FOSSology is a open source license compliance software system and toolkit. As a toolkit you can run license, copyright
and export control scans from the command line. As a system, a database and web ui are provided to give you a compliance
workflow. In one click you can generate an SPDX file, or a ReadMe with all the copyrights notices from your software.
FOSSology deduplication means that you can scan an entire distro, rescan a new version, and only the changed files will
get rescanned. This is a big time saver for large projects.
FOSSology does not give legal advice.
