## 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

- 2025: 1.0.0 release published on GitHub.
- 2026: 1.14.0 released on 2026-06-26.

### Related projects
