Abstract

Michael C. Jaeger of Siemens presented a hands-on demonstration of the Eclipse Foundation's SW360. SW360 is an open source software project licensed under the EPL-1.0 that provides both a web application and a repository to collect, organize and make available information about software components. It establishes a central hub for software components in an organization. SW360 allows for

• tracking components used by a project/product,
• assessing security vulnerabilities,
• maintaining license obligations,
• enforcing policies, and
• generating legal documents.

For more information on SW360, see the slides from Michael's August 31, 2019 presentation to the OSR working group:
