* [**ClearlyDefined**](https://clearlydefined.io) collects and displays meta and security information about a large number of projects distributed on different package registries. It also motivates developers and curators to extend data about a project's licensing and copyright situation. REUSE in comparison concentrates on fixing the problem at the file level for individual projects, which in turn will ease ClearlyDefined's efforts.
* [**OpenChain**](https://www.openchainproject.org) focuses on making Free Software license compliance more transparent, predictable, and understandable for participants in the software supply chain. OpenChain recommends REUSE as one component to increase clarity of the licensing and copyright situation, but has higher requirements to achieve full conformance.
* [**FOSSology**](https://www.fossology.org) is a toolkit for Free Software compliance, stores information in a database, and includes license, copyright and export scanners. It is more complex than REUSE and its helper tool and rather optimized for compliance officers and lawyers. REUSE instead intends to have all licensing and copyright information stored in or next to the source files to safeguard this information when reused elsewhere.
* [**ORT**](https://oss-review-toolkit.org/), the OSS Review Toolkit, is a set of tools that complement existing compliance projects. Its scanner tool runs the license scanner of your choice on the source code of projects and their transitive dependencies. With these being REUSE compliant, it will be much easier for ORT to correctly determine the licenses of all files used in the project.
