Hello Everyone, With great pleasure, I would like to introduce DRAT (Distributed Release Audit Tool) which is a distributed, parallelized wrapper around Apache RAT to inspect for appropriate open source licensing in software projects. DRAT was started by my advisor, Chris Mattmann, in an effort to get RAT working on a ver large code base. RAT uses Apache OODT, Apache Tika, and Apache Solr.
We are now auditing the complete Apache SVN code base to check for proper licenses. Until now, we have scanned 171 / 191 repositories and illustrated the statistics for 133 of them through D3 visualization located at http://drat.dyndns.org:8080/dratviz Projects should check out the MIME analysis of the code base and click around. Please also note due to the sheer size of the Apache code bases and the fact that we scanned and included all revisions in the Apache SVN repo, DRAT is not running in real time. We are running DRAT on the NSF Super Computer Wrangler, which has a petabyte of flash storage and the ability to stand up Hadoop and Spark clusters. We are also working on a paper describing our results. Please send feedback to myself (Karanjeet Singh <karan...@usc.edu>), Professor Mattmann <mattm...@usc.edu> and/or ird...@mymaillists.usc.edu. Thanks & Regards, Karanjeet Singh C.S. Graduate Student University of Southern California karan...@usc.edu | +1-213-675-9583
