The record

Purpose: OSCake takes a description of a package collection and its compliance artifacts and creates an Open Source Compliance File for distribution with the collection.
License aware output: The generated compliance file is intended to meet the requirements of the licenses involved in the package collection.
Inputs: OSCake is designed to use results gathered by ORT and compile a license adequate compliance file.
Two DSLs: OSCake defines OSCC, a weak compliance artifact language for data to gather, and OSCF, a strict language for defining data needed per component.
Generation flow: OSCake interprets OSCC into OSCF, then evaluates OSCF and external data to produce an OSCF.md compliance file.
Filtering and gaps: The OSCC generator derives OSCF from collected data by omitting unnecessary artifacts and marking what is missing for a valid OSCF.
Technology: The project describes itself as based on Xtext and Xtend, with the DSLs defined and evaluated using those technologies.
Setup: The setup instructions use Eclipse IDE for Java and DSL Developers, or Xtext and Xtend installed through Eclipse Marketplace.
Examples: The repository includes example test cases consisting of OSCC files created by ORT and ZIP files containing additional ORT gathered data.
License: The project states that it is licensed under the Eclipse Public License 2.0 and provided as is without warranties.
Support: The README lists GitHub issues and [email protected] as channels for support requests and feedback.
Security policy: The repository contains a SECURITY.md security policy file.
