Overview
OS Inventory shows the copyright status for each library, including whether copyright notices were detected, not detected, or not specified. It helps you quickly understand the copyright information detected for each open source library in your project, without opening each library individually.
Copyright Statuses
Use copyright status to understand how complete the detected copyright information is for each library.
