The management of your open-source software can be divided into six basic areas, with responsibilities shared across engineering, legal, and DevOps.These focus areas impact open source license compliance, security vulnerabilities, code quality, and risk management while your organization scales its usage of open source.
The implementation of an automated Open Source Management Platform can streamline the management of your open source and give you a competitive advantage.
