    [$] Digging for license information with FOSSology
    At Open
    Source Summit Europe 2019
    , Michael C. Jaeger and Maximilian Huber
    updated attendees on the FOSSology
    project
    , which is an open-source license-compliance tool. They
    introduced FOSSology and talked about how it can be used, but they also
    looked at the new features added in the last few releases. Beyond that,
    they presented some experiments the project has been doing with creating
    machine-learning models for license recognition.
    10:40p
    [$] Filesystem sandboxing with eBPF
    Running untrusted code in a safe manner is generally the goal of sandboxing
    efforts. The sandbox technique presented by Georgia Tech PhD student
    Ashish Bijlani at Open
    Source Summit Europe 2019
    is no exception. He has used something of a novel
    scheme to allow unprivileged code to implement the sandbox policies using
    BPF; the policies are then enforced by the kernel.
