Disclosure files

Obtain disclosure files

Encapsulate the search Web script into a shell script to provide a command line interface

To download the disclosure file that relates to a given package name and version from the OSSelot Github repository the following shell script can be used:

#!/bin/bash

if test -z "$1" -o -z "$2"
then
  echo "Usage: $0 <package> <version>"
  exit 1
fi
package="$1"
version="$2"
if test `wget -qO - https://www.osselot.org/curated.php?$package | grep version-$version`
then
  wget -qO - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Open-Source-Compliance/package-analysis/main/analysed-packages/$package/version-$version/$package-$version-OSS-disclosure.txt
fi

The output of this script can then be adapted to the actual file set of the binary software distribution and given to the recipient of the software upon delivery as an important step toward compliance with the license terms. Possible further steps to license compliance are the adaptation of other legal materials such as terms and conditions and, if the license imposes this obligation, the immediate provision or an appropriate written offer to deliver the source code.

If the script is called "getdisclosure" and invoked for the example that was used on the search page as

getdisclosure angular 15.2.2

a text is returned that is ready to be used: angular/15.2.2 disclosure material

Web interface to immediately use the above described script and search for a given package and provide links to the disclosure documents of found package repositories

Look for other software packages that may have already been curated at OSSelot and provide links to the related disclosure documents

Search for an OSSelot disclosure document

Material from multiple packages can each be given a title line and then concatenated.

Interface to obtain individually designed do-it-yourself disclosure documents

A similar interface provides for obtaining individually designed do-it-yourself disclosure files with various ways to show licenses and add optional features.

Interface to obtain a list of licenses

A similar interface provides for listing the licenses that a particular software package uses instead of the entire disclosure documents.
