history
Project history and usage
Feluda is a Rust command-line tool for dependency license analysis, license-restriction checks, compliance file generation, and SBOM generation.
Project history
The official README presents Feluda as actively developed but still experimental, with a fast iteration model. GitHub releases show a 1.0.0 release in January 2025 and a 1.14.0 release in June 2026.
The Read the Docs site frames the tool around scanning source trees across Rust, Node, Go, Python, C/C++, .NET, R, Java, Maven, Gradle, and Ruby ecosystems, then extending into SBOM and CI workflows.
Adoption history
Official installation paths include Cargo and GitHub release packages for Debian and RPM systems. The README also documents community-maintained Homebrew, AUR, and NetBSD/pkgsrc packaging, with release tracking through GitHub releases and a release feed.
How it is used
Default usage scans a project path for dependency license information, with language selection, local-license detection, network lookup fallback, OSI approval filters, compliance file generation, and SPDX or CycloneDX SBOM output.
Why package nerds care
Feluda fits the recent package-manager interest in supply-chain metadata: it turns manifests and package metadata into license and SBOM outputs that can be run locally, in CI, or from a release artifact.
Timeline
