Final Thesis: Modeling FLOSS Dependencies in Products
Abstract: As the software industry grows fast, the competition to produce high-quality software as quickly as possible, made the reusability of Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS) famous, but with features come challenges and risks. The main issue with FLOSS is license compliance among the system’s different FLOSS components; therefore, license compliance tools arise, trying to avoid and solve the problem. This thesis investigates the license compliance tools to find how these products model the FLOSS dependencies. The need for a unified model is significant to reach a fully automated method to decide FLOSS components’ usability without any issues.
