Project mention: Show HN: Pre-alpha tool for analyzing spdx SBOMs generated by GitHub | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-21

I've become interested in SBOM recently, and found there were great tools like https://dependencytrack.org/ for CycloneDX SBOMs, but all I have is SPDX SBOMs generated by GitHub.
I decided to have a go at writing my own dependency track esque tool aiming to integrate with the APIs GitHub provides.
It's pretty limited in functionality so far, but can give a high level summary of the types of licenses your repository dependencies use, and let you drill down into potentially problematic ones.
Written in NextJS + mui + sqlite, and using another project of mine to generate most of the API boilerplate/glue (https://github.com/mnahkies/openapi-code-generator)

Lots of large companies require SBOMs from their supplier.
In the EU we will get the Cyber Resilience Act which will make them mandatory as well in certain cases: https://data.consilium.europa.eu/doc/document/ST-12536-2023-...
And yes, there's bascially two technical standards to provide them: SPDX and CycloneDX: https://cyclonedx.org/
