Description
FOSSA.io provides scanning of FOSS licenses of the project and its dependencies. It supports generating shields itself, but they're limited (no options like on shields.io). Example:
`https://app.fossa.io/api/projects/git%2Bgithub.com%2FAthari%2FCsConsoleFormat.svg`
`https://app.fossa.io/api/projects/git%2Bgithub.com%2FAthari%2FCsConsoleFormat.svg?type=shield`
There's [API](https://fossa.io/docs/projects/api-endpoints/), but it's only available for paying Enterprise customers. However, the SVG badge itself can be parsed, I guess.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the FOSSA API documentation linked in the issue and inspect the two example SVG badge URLs. Compare the data exposed by the SVG with the badge options requested; done means Shields can provide a FOSSA badge with useful configurable output.
