Open Source Software Audits: Why, When, and How to Conduct an Audit
No matter what industry your business is in, your company is almost certainly using open source software. The question is whether you know how you're using open source, what licenses are in play, and whether you're meeting all of your license requirements. If you can't answer all of these questions — and most businesses can't — you may want to perform an open source audit. Why? An audit can answer the question of what open source software (OSS) is present in your code and what licenses that OSS falls under.
