Seven Best Practices for Managing Open Source Software

The use of open source software within the software development industry is rapidly increasing but it only takes one piece of unlicensed code within your software to cause a breach and potential lawsuit.

Does your company have a policy for monitoring source code? Can you tell which open source software is in use and whether you are compliant with any license restrictions?

Black Duck Software are the market leaders in the management and monitoring of open source software use. Black Duck’s Protex solution provides businesses with a preventative measure when using external code.

As official Black Duck partners, Clearvision can provide consulting for all Black Duck products and services.
