Tools for software composition analysis (Philippe Ombredanne, IEEE Computer)

I’m happy to report that the tenth article in the open source column of IEEE Computer has been published.

Title	Free and Open Source Software License Compliance: Tools for Software Composition Analysis
Keywords	Open-source software, software composition, open source licenses, automation
Authors	Philippe Ombredanne, nexB Inc.
Publication	Computer vol. 53, no. 10 (October 2020), pp. 105-109

Abstract: Modern software is assembled from thousands of open source components, each with its own provenance and license, meaning that automation is the only practical way to comply with license conditions. We review the domain of software license compliance tools.

As always, the article is freely available (local copy).
