Immediate Web tools

• Look for software packages that may have already been curated and provide links to the related disclosure documents.
  Search for an OSSelot disclosure document
  
  Please note that the disclosure document may need to be adapted to the actual file set of a binary software distribution, since some files (e.g. for testing or documentation) may not be included.

• Look for software packages that may have already been curated and provide links to display the licenses that are used by a particular version.
  Search for an OSSelot list of concluded licenses
  
  Please note that – same as above – more licenses may be found than actually refer to a particular binary software distribution.

• Use the below select box and search field to define a data format and enter the name of a software package. Then select one of the available software versions to immediately run the REST interface for the given package and display the OSSelot curation data in a new window.
