License Compliance has become big business.  Many proprietary tools exist, but fortunately in
recent years FLOSS tools to aid understanding the licenses of codebases have been created.
This panel includes developers of many of these freely available tools. We'll discuss what these
tools do, if they can actually address compliance problems in the wild yet, and the general
challenges of developing freely available tools in a heavily proprietarized industry.
