ranslate FOSS licenses into code
summary
A machine-readable protocol that translates licenses into permissions and represents each permission with concrete conditions, parses component relationships from SPDX/CycloneDX SBOMs, and computes whether a given combination of components grants required permissions and whether all conditions can be simultaneously fulfilled. Output includes a checklist of obligations, suggested outbound license options, and tentative compatibility verdicts for large codebases; results require human review and the project is open source and NLNet-funded.
