Manual addition of Scancode
In addition to the default installation, the Scancode Open Source scan tool should be installed, and an interface from the FOSSology instance to it should be configured. The rationale behind the recommendation to use a certain variety of scanners is that each scanner has its own strengths and weaknesses and by combining the individual scan findings, the overall result can be optimized.
Community server
The reference community FOSSology server Fossy is available on the Internet and internally used for primary curation and review; however, it is not publicly available. Future contributors may be granted login to the Fossy server after they successfully underwent O curators' training.
