- where does the code come from? which software package?
- what is its license? copyright?
- is the code vulnerable, maintained, well coded?
- is the code vulnerable, actively maintained, and well-structured?
- what are its dependencies, are there vulnerabilities/licensing issues?

All these are questions that are important to answer: there are millions of free and open source software components available on the web for reuse.

Knowing where a software package comes from, what its license is and whether it is vulnerable should be a problem of the past such that everyone can safely consume more free and open source software. We support not only open source software, but also open data, generated and curated by our applications.
