Where FOSSology installs files and where it keeps temp files can be changed during install. This page just tells you what the default locations are. If you want to see all the files on your system, to to the top of the fossology source tree and run “utils/mkfilelists”. The output is in /tmp/new-distro.
These file locations are based on the LSB see LSB Location Table put together by Matt Taggart.
