Overall Satisfaction with FOSSA
I use FOSSA to scan the licenses of software I use for a side-project of mine. Overall the automated scans and emails work great! It is nice to have the peace of mind that the licenses used to create our software are all above board and cleared for redistribution/re-use. We link it to GitHub, so every push gets scanned by FOSSA as part of our quality control process.
- Setup of tool.
- Speed of scans.
- Automated emails with reports.
- Interface for loading results can be slow, this is the #1 issue we have faced.
- Speed of scans could be improved.
- Hard to measure the ROI, but no doubt having licenses be above board is fantastic for protection of your software.
- Caused developers to make more informed decisions.
