Quartermaster - the FOSS Compliance Toolchain that is itself FOSS

Quartermaster is a suite of command line tools and build system extensions that instruments software builds to create FOSS compliance documentation and support compliance decisions. It executes as part of a software build process to generate reports about the analyzed product.

Usage

See the deployment instructions.

How it works

Quartermaster runs adjacent to a software build process. A master process collects information about the software that is built. Once the build is complete, the master executes a number of analysis tools, and finally a number of reporters. Which exactly is configured in a configuration file called qmstr.yaml that usually resides in the root directory of the repository.

Current status

As of now, Quartermaster only analyzes Maven projects and stores license and compliance information in its database.
