A Software Bill of Materials (software BOM) is a list of components in a piece of software. Software vendors often create products by assembling open source and commercial software components. The software BOM describes the components in a product. It is analogous to a list of ingredients on food packaging.

This tool (cargo bom) can be used to construct Bill of Materials for software
using Cargo package manager.
The output of cargo bom has two sections. First it prints out a table with all
top level dependencies, version numbers and names of licenses. Then it prints
all license texts found from depended projects (files matching globs "LICENSE"
and "UNLICENSE").
