5This repository contains a set of rules and tools for
6- declaring metadata about packages, such as
7  - the licenses the package is available under
8  - the canonical package name and version
9  - copyright information
10  - ... and more TBD in the future
11- gathering those license declarations into artifacts to ship with code
12- applying organization specific compliance constriants against the
13  set of packages used by a target.
14- (eventually) producing SBOMs for built artifacts.

16WARNING: The code here is still in active initial development and will churn a lot.
