Use open source with confidence. No license traps.
We review licenses, clarify obligations, and set simple rules so you can use open source cleanly across product and development.
Open-source software powers modern software development, but it also carries legal risk. Different licenses come with obligations that are easy to overlook, and violations can quickly lead to liability, reputational damage, or problems in investment and M&A processes. What you need is pragmatic, scalable open-source management that gives your engineering teams room to move while keeping you compliant.
We act as enablers, not gatekeepers, helping you build working open-source governance that's integrated into your development processes.
Our approach combines technical process know-how with clear legal structure and keeps administrative overhead to a minimum:
- OSS Audit, License Analysis, and Risk Assessment: We start by analyzing your codebase, checking your code and third-party components for license compatibility, and pinpointing where risks sit (e.g., copyleft obligations, attribution, redistribution).
- OSS Policy: We develop a simple, understandable open-source policy tailored precisely to your business model.
- Process Integration, Approvals, and Obligation Management: We define how OSS components are identified, approved, and documented, and help you build OSS review directly into your workflows. We also support you in creating and maintaining OSS inventories, copyright notices, and source-code disclosures, so license conflicts surface before they become problems.
- Training and Awareness: We translate complex license terms into practical guidance and train your engineering and product teams on what actually matters.
- Due Diligence Readiness: For investors and acquirers, open-source compliance is a standard diligence item. We set up your compliance framework and documentation so there are no unpleasant surprises at your next funding round or exit.
We work as partners to both engineering and legal teams, translating complex license requirements into clear, actionable rules that make compliance seamless and efficient.
The result: a scalable system that gives sales and investors confidence without slowing down your engineering. You get open source at full innovative strength, on a solid legal foundation.
We review your open-source usage, clarify license obligations, and create clear rules and documentation for your product and team.
