+The Apache Harmony project is dedicated to producing a codebase that +has clear IP pedigree and protects the IP rights of others. As part +of this effort, we are developing and using tools that help us examine +code in a more effient way. Below are some tools that we either have +created, or are listing to provide awareness. The Apache Harmony project +or the ASF does not endorse or promote any of these tools, projects +or commercial organizations, and does not make any claims as to +suitability, accuracy or dependability. +

+ + + +

+Keyword scanning is a simple technique to find "the code you never +knew you had." By searching for a set of well chosen keywords (like +"copyright", "license" etc), you can discover code that may not +be redistributable (you have the license to use by not re-distribute +or re-license), or that you didn't want to contribute. +

+ +

+The Apache Harmony Keyword Scanner is a new contribution that can be found +here : +
