Manage Open Source Licence Risk with Confidence
Undeclared, reused, or AI-generated code can introduce serious compliance liabilities. The SCANOSS Licence Dataset helps you detect declared and undeclared open source across your codebase—down to the snippet—providing clarity on licence obligations, compatibility, attribution, and copyright.
Identify hidden or unlicensed code snippets
Assess licence compatibility across mixed dependencies

Support all programming languages
How it works
SCANOSS integrates directly into your developer workflows using lightweight local agents and a real-time scanning engine. It can be embedded within IDEs, CI/CD pipelines, pre-commit hooks, or used via CLI. Code is never uploaded—only SBOM and metadata are processed for analysis, ensuring data sovereignty and privacy.
Step 1:
Run the SCANOSS agent locally or within CI
Step 2:
Extract SBOM metadata and scan code (no code leaves your environment)
Step 3:
Query the Licence Dataset via API to retrieve licence obligations and compatibility insights
