Why Invest in Automated Open Source License Management?

Impact of uncertainties around software components

Any uncertainty around either ownership of software or compliance with the licenses associated with software can deter downstream users, reduce ability to create partnerships, create litigation risk to the company and the downstream users, threaten closures in funding deals, negatively impact M&A activities, increase product time to market, and affect company valuation.

Unknown pedigree of software also impacts product development activities. Unknown software in a project can propagate problematic code errors within an organization, reduce product quality, introduce security vulnerabilities, and violate export control obligations.
