Hi HN — founder here, and really pleased to share FOSSA with you!<p>Over the past year, we’ve been incubating the product at some amazing companies like SolarCity and SmartThings (more announcing soon!) to scale it across cutting-edge engineering teams and get it ready for this moment.<p>Today, we’re also announcing a $2.2MM seed round led by Bain Capital Ventures with participation from humbling angels including the founders of Salesforce, Skype, YouTube, Cloudera, Tinder and others — read more about it here: <a href="https://medium.com/fossa/announcing-fossa-public-beta-funding-8cf56cf8ebc6#.q3kusnp26" rel="nofollow">https://medium.com/fossa/announcing-fossa-public-beta-fundin...</a><p>Excited to hear your feedback on what we’ve built.

We see FOSSA as an attempt to tackle similar problems in a commercial scenario.

Excited to see Fossa take a stab at this in a way that is developer-friendly.<p>Also check out tldrLegal, software licenses in plain english: <a href="https://tldrlegal.com" rel="nofollow">https://tldrlegal.com</a>.
