Hidden Copyleft Risk
GPL and other copyleft licenses arrive through transitive dependencies nobody reviewed. You find them when legal does, which is far too late to change course cheaply.
FOSS License Risk
Ship Faster Without GPL Surprises in Production
Automated license risk detection and policy enforcement for teams managing open source compliance at scale.
Your legal team just discovered GPL code in a customer-facing product three weeks before release. Engineering says “we didn’t know it was there.” Marketing has already announced the launch date. And you’re stuck mediating between release velocity and compliance risk.

The Problem
The Open Source Compliance Gap
Manual License Review
Every release means spreadsheets, email threads, and manual cross-referencing. The review takes weeks and is stale the moment a dependency updates.
Incomplete Attribution
Customers and regulators ask for accurate NOTICE files. Assembling them by hand is error-prone, and you can’t prove the list is complete.

In Practice
Common FOSS Scenarios
Pre-Release License Validation
Automatically validate that every SBOM meets your license policy before artifacts leave your organization. Reject releases with unapproved licenses. Generate attribution files for distribution.
Customer License Transparency
Provide customers with complete, accurate license attribution documentation. Demonstrate that you respect open source obligations. Build trust through transparency.
Customer Security Questionnaires
When customers ask “What open source do you use?”, provide controlled SBOM access with confidence. Redact sensitive details while demonstrating transparency. Keep a full audit trail of what was shared with whom.
