Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer program embodiments are disclosed for detecting software components in a software codebase. In an embodiment, a source file containing source code may be received, and a code signature may be generated for the source file based on a determined structure of the source code. The generated code signature may then be compared to signatures stored in a reference database to identify matching software files. In an embodiment, the reference database may store a plurality of code signatures corresponding to software files. A list of the identified software files may be created and presented to a user.
