| 16 | +The AboutCode Toolkit and ABOUT files provide a simple way to document the |
| 17 | +origin, license, usage and other important or interesting information about |
| 18 | +third-party software components that you use in your project. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +You start by storing ABOUT files (a small YAML formatted text file with field/value pairs) |
| 21 | +side-by-side with each of the third-party software components you use. |
| 22 | +Each ABOUT file documents origin and license for one software. |
| 23 | +For more information on the ABOUT file format, visit http://www.dejacode.org |
| 24 | +There are many examples of ABOUT files (valid or invalid) in the testdata/ |
| 25 | +directory of the whole repository. |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +The current version of the AboutCode Toolkit can read these ABOUT files so that you |
| 28 | +can collect and validate the inventory of third-party components that you use. |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +In addition, this tool is able to generate attribution notices and |
| 31 | +identify redistributable source code used in your project to help you comply |
| 32 | +with open source licenses conditions. |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +This version of the AboutCode Toolkit follows the ABOUT specification version 3.0 at: |
| 35 | +https://github.com/nexB/aboutcode-toolkit/blob/develop/SPECIFICATION.rst |
