### description

scancode-toolkit is a CLI tool and library to detect licenses, copyrights, packages and dependencies by scanning code, to discover and inventory open source and third-party packages used in your code.

### primary_languages

Python

### short_term_roadmap

1. Finish up the work done to tag scancode license rules with required phrases massively and automatically, to reduce false positives. Also improve the license detection algorithm using these required phrases. https://github.com/aboutcode-org/scancode-toolkit/pull/3924
2. Publish smaller (and seperate) wheels to enable much faster releases and bugfixes https://github.com/aboutcode-org/scancode-toolkit/pull/3761
3. Support python 3.13 https://github.com/aboutcode-org/scancode-toolkit/issues/3921
4. fast-scan: identify and apply performance improvements https://github.com/aboutcode-org/scancode-toolkit/issues/4071
