Does your company have a safeguard or policy for monitoring its source code? You may not know that it only takes a small amount of unlicensed code within your software program to raise a lawsuit.
Microsoft were sued for copyright infringement for modifying just 0.03% of Veritas’ software program.
It’s no secret that companies often re-use third party, internal and open source code in a bid to reduce production efforts and shorten the time to market but beware, the consequences related to unmanaged third party software licensing can be severe
In a more recent lawsuit (2010) Oracle sued Google for wilful infringement of software patents and intellectual property during the development of its Android operating system.
Black Duck Software are the market leaders in the management and deployment of open source software. The aim of Black Duck’s Protex solution is to provide businesses with a preventative measure during the use of external code.
It works by analysing your company’s source code during the development stages by comparing it against an exhaustive quantity of open source software through the “worlds most comprehensive code Knowlegebase”.
Through the use of a Protex platform, companies can take steps to avoid overlooked software licence obligations, become more compliant and ensure best practice within the working environment.
As a partner of Black Duck Software, Clearvision can provide Protex as a solution in addition to training, support, consulting and other products to help improve your software development processes.
FREE source code scan!
For a limited time Clearvision and BlackDuck are offering all prospective customers a FREE sample code scan, which will highlight the open source software already in use and any potential breach of license terms. For more details or to learn more about how your company can benefit please contact

Research completed by the management consulting firm Accenture has confirmed that over two thirds of global organisations anticipate increasing their expenditure on open source software this year with over 85 per cent of US companies expect investment in open source systems to increase in 2010, compared to 56 per cent of UK companies.
Half of those that undertook the global Accenture survey are fully committed to using open source, while 38 per cent expect to transfer core software to open source within the next 12 months.
The survey highlighted that over three quarters of those who responded had cited quality of software over cost savings as the main reason for switching to an open source platform, a significant change to current market perception. Over two-thirds see open source as more reliable than traditional software, and 70 per cent see it as having better security and bug fixing capabilities.
The findings represent a turning point for open source, according to Tomas Nyström, senior director of open source technologies at Accenture "Open source has become a high-quality and reliable alternative to traditional products, and is a real choice for businesses, not just a cost cutting measure,".
"The platform is growing faster than the total market, and is displacing closed software products."
UK firms are more positive about the benefits of open source than their US counterparts, even though fewer plan to invest further in the software. A third of UK companies believe that exploiting the full benefits of open source offers a real competitive advantage over those that remain focused on proprietary software especially for those smaller companies who cannot afford traditional vendor solutions.
