Patent number: 9311613Abstract: Various tools for use in connection with software projects that may contain open-source software code therein. The tools may include systems and methods for improving results regarding scans of the software projects based on insight data obtained from at least one user's analysis of the results of a previous scan. The systems and methods may also include an application-specific collaboration tool.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2014Date of Patent: April 12, 2016Assignee: OpenLogic, Inc.Inventor: Rod Cope

Patent number: 9092487Abstract: A system and method (a “utility”) is provided for improving the accuracy of a content matching analysis that identifies a composition of an item of protectable content of a user. The item of protectable content may include a portion of source code or object code, individual or bundled source code or object code files, binary code files, directory structures and/or trees, open source software projects or packages, and/or proprietary software applications or packages. The utility involves storing a number of items of comparison content on a storage structure, receiving an item of user content at a computer-based content exchange, and comparing the item of user content to the items of comparison content to determine, from among the items of comparison content, one or more potential matches that each include a matched portion that is similar to a portion of the item of user content.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2013Date of Patent: July 28, 2015Assignee: OpenLogic, Inc.Inventor: Rod Cope

Patent number: 8881092Abstract: A tool is provided for addressing a number of issues related to assembling software stacks including multiple uncoordinated components such as open source projects. The tool identifies individual projects for stacking, manages dependency relationships and provides an intuitive graphical interface to assist a user. A project filter is also provided for controlling access to or installation of projects in accordance with filter criteria. In this manner, compliance with internal policies regarding the use of open source or other software is facilitated. The user can also add projects to the collection of supported projects and define stack macros or stacros. Once such stacros are defined, various functionality can be provided analogous to that provided for individual projects.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2011Date of Patent: November 4, 2014Assignee: OpenLogic, Inc.Inventors: Rod Cope, Eric Weidner

Patent number: 8832647Abstract: A tool is provided for addressing a number of issues related to providing support for software stacks including multiple uncoordinated components such as open source projects. The tool receives information about a stack, obtains support information specific to that stack and outputs the information to a user. A parsing functionality is also provided for selectively combining support information from the constituent projects of the stack.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2010Date of Patent: September 9, 2014Assignee: OpenLogic, Inc.Inventors: Rod Cope, Eric Weidner
