The hidden risk

Even the most popular open source licences can introduce legal and operational risks.

MIT

Permissive, but attribution is mandatory. Miss it, and you’re in breach

APACHE 2.0

Includes a patent clause. Infringe it, and you lose the right to use the code.

GPL v3

Copyleft licence. Must open source your own code if improperly combined.

BSD 3-Clause

Requires careful tracking of attribution and endorsement rules.

SCANOSS empowers you to track and manage OSS licences with confidence.

Full OSS detection

Identify all open source packages, files, and snippets. Even those not declared in manifests.

Compliant SBOMs

Build precise, licence-tagged Software Bills of Materials for internal use or external review.

Licence conflict alerts

Uncover licence incompatibilities and policy violations before they reach production.

Legal audit trails

Provide traceable, verifiable records for every identified component, complete with licence details.
