When importing a GitHub project , enable Submit badge PRs after import (public GitHub READMEs only) and FOSSA opens a pull request adding a license-scan status badge to your README as soon as the project imports. See Webpack's README for an example. FOSSA adds a badge near the top of the README and a more detailed badge at the bottom. You never need to update it; FOSSA refreshes it automatically when the README loads, keeping it in sync with your default branch . Expand Adding a badge without Quick Import For private repositories, CLI-imported projects, or any project where you want to place the badge yourself, copy the snippet from Project Settings → General → Embed Status Badge and paste it into your README manually.
