OW2 has a long history of cooperation with FOSSology to analyze the licenses of OW2 projects. FOSSology scans were run on all mature OW2 projects through an OW2 account on the FOSSology repository hosted by Oregon State University. The scans provided valuable license information and detected some unexpected or custom licenses. Going forward, OW2 aims to automate FOSSology scans on new project releases and develop custom filters tailored for each project on the OSU FOSSology repository.
