Evolving FOSSology Ecosystem
summary
FOSSology is a GPL‑2.0 license‑compliance toolkit with agents that scan archives and a Postgres/PHP/C++ stack; recent GSoc rounds add a React UI, a Atarashi agent using text‑statistics ML, a ClearlyDefined integration and Software Heritage/ScanCode connectors, a Grafana dashboard, Kubernetes deployment, and parallelized make builds. Seven students complete GSoc 2021, contributing ~150,000 LOC, ~180 PRs, 30 features and 40 bug fixes; Atarashi integration improves accuracy, build time drops with parallel make, and license variants grow from ~500 to ~3,000.
