Description

FOSSA.io provides scanning of FOSS licenses of the project and its dependencies. It supports generating shields itself, but they're limited (no options like on shields.io). Example:

https://app.fossa.io/api/projects/git%2Bgithub.com%2FAthari%2FCsConsoleFormat.svg https://app.fossa.io/api/projects/git%2Bgithub.com%2FAthari%2FCsConsoleFormat.svg?type=shield

There's API, but it's only available for paying Enterprise customers. However, the SVG badge itself can be parsed, I guess.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine existing badge service integrations in the codebase, particularly those that parse third party SVGs. Then replicate the pattern for FOSSA, using their SVG badge URL or API if available.
