cpudney writes "Computerworld UK reports that Hewlett-Packard has launched the FOSSology Project, whose mission, according to the FOSSology web-site, is to build a community to facilitate the study of Free and Open Source Software by providing free data analysis tools. The first such tool reports how an open source project is licensed. Rather than simply collecting a project's advertised license, the tool analyzes all of the source-code for a given project and reports all of the licenses being used, based on the license declarations and tell-tale phrases that identify software licensing. Video demonstrating the tool applied to abiword is available. The FOSSology source-code is licensed under GPLv2."
