Conclusions
The sqo-oss system is a platform modeled around a pluggable, extensible ar- chitecture that enables it to incorporate various types of data sources and be accessible through different user interfaces.Over the past years a new market has been created based on products and value added services built on top of f/oss. In order to allow it to grow, its products must somehow be comparable to each other, and thus they need to un- dergo some kind of standardization. This is the purpose of a number of research projects currently funded by the EU, besides sqo-oss. FLOSSMetrics [42] stands for Free/Libre/Open Source Software Metrics and Benchmarking. Its main objec- tive is to construct, publish and analyse a large scale database with information
