Scan Source Code for Licenses Used

Question

I remember encountering a commercial software that scanned a project's source code and provided a list of all the different software licenses it used. That is, it would find all the third party code used in a project and give their licenses (Apache, GPL, ...).

Can anyone provide a link to such a program?

Answer 1

I know about a Ruby library called Ohcount.

Answer 2

Found the one I remembered:

http://www.blackducksoftware.com/protex - Protex by Black Duck.

The key term to use in google, as I learned the hard way, is "Software Compliance Management".

Answer 3

FOSSology is a GPL-licensed tool for analyzing OS licensing. It's main capability is to do pattern matching against uploaded source code and find matching licenses.
