+The Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) project has been ongoing since May, with the goal of providing the necessary tooling to create SBOMs from FreeBSD Ports and the base system.
+
+One of the major developments in 2025Q4 was upstreaming spdxtool to the pkgconf upstream. The upstreamed code ensures that pkgconf tools have an SPDX Lite 3.0.1 profile-compatible SBOM creation tool with the next release.
+
+Another significant effort has been gathering information about applications that form part of the FreeBSD base system.
+These applications are primarily located in the [.filename]#usr.bin#, [.filename]#usr.sbin#, [.filename]#sbin#, and [.filename]#bin# directories inside FreeBSD git repository.
+The FreeBSD Alpha Omega Beach Cleaning project has been instrumental as it gathers information about third-party libraries and applications, and I have contributed to this effort.
+Now there is Lua scripts and a file that can produce the needed files for pkgconf's spdxtool, which can be exported in SPDX JSON-LD format.
+
+Tools using this gathered information and current raw data can be found in my fork of the FreeBSD src tree. Mainly, all C and header files that hold SPDX-License-Identifier are now gathered and processed.
+
+There have also been efforts to upstream SBOM creation per package for FreeBSD Ports, but this has stalled and needs updating.
+
+If you want to help with this effort:
+
+* Add SPDX-License-Identifier headers to C and header files under the FreeBSD src.
+* Verify that the files current SPDX-License-Identifier is correct.
+* Verify that the gathered information is accurate.
+ Currently, all tools that have some man page for section 1, 7, and 8 are added, with descriptions taken from the man page using a script.
