How to Scan for Open Source and Comply with Licenses
Open source software is so widespread that it has made its way into a wide variety of products – from cars to DVRs to security systems. In addition, companies often provide free software to customers or partners that includes open source. Even the latest mobile apps often contain open source components.
Distributing products containing open source software creates a set of important legal obligations, yet many enterprises aren't even aware of the issue.
Scanning for open source software and licenses is critically important to enable companies to understand their open source usage and the corresponding license obligations, and this information can help them avoid legal action and protect intellectual property.
In this webinar Kim Weins, Senior VP of Marketing for OpenLogic, provides an in-depth demonstration of OSS Deep Discovery, OpenLogic's source code scanning tool that identifies open source software, licenses, and obligations. OSS Deep Discovery utilizes multiple advanced techniques to identify embedded open source packages, files, and code snippets – even when the open source code has been copied or modified.
This webinar uses real-world examples to show how OSS Deep Discovery enables you to accurately audit open source usage and quickly reconcile scan results. Other topics covered in this webinar include:
Binary vs. source code scanning
Identifying and minimizing false positives
Aggregating and analyzing scan results
Creating a bill of materials and bill of licenses
Understanding open source license obligations and conflicts
Ensuring ongoing license compliance
