Configuring Default Policy Rules
When FOSSA encounters unknown licenses or components, you can configure policies to default to a behavior. To set the default, click the "Make Default" button below on the proper categorization:
-
Uncategorized - When a new policy is created, this is the default categorization. "Uncategorized" leaves the component unknown and does nothing.
-
Deny - This will trigger a Policy Conflict issue when unknown components are found.
-
Flag for Review - This will trigger a Policy Flag issue when unknown components are found.
-
Approve - This will expressly approve unknown components that do not trigger any other issues.
False Positive Warning
Configuring this feature on large projects can lead to a lot of false positives upon scanning for issues.
