The Scancode features can further help us in security or supply chain security. I request a feature which support generation of SBOM files in Cyclone dx and SPDX format. This can be used to secure software from inherent vulnerabilities and secure supply chain of software.

@usmankhanisb CycloneDx is already supported: https://scancode-toolkit.readthedocs.io/en/stable/cli-reference/output-format.html#all-scan-output-options

@pombredanne I think this issue can be closed.

@Jeeppler yes, closing this. We have a follow up issue to improve the cyclonedx output option at #2987 btw also.
