Managing Open Source Software with BlackDuck
26th May 2009 - 12:00pm GMT
If you are merging/acquiring or selling a company with software assets, to avoid damaging litigation you must be aware of whether any software assets contain code found on the internet.

With the proliferation of shared source code it is almost guaranteed that your software assets will contain lines of code that are not rightfully yours, the key question is how much and what the license restrictions are.

If you are a director of the company, you are responsible for the code, how can you be sure developers or partners have not breached software copyright and placed your business in an illegal position?

In today’s financial climate where pressure is placed on developers to be more productive, it is common for contaminated code to seamlessly seep into commercial products.

With BlackDuck you can check the code validity and if you are;
  • Merging or acquiring a software company, you can buy the company with the confidence the code is legitimate;
  • A software lawyer, you can rest assure there is no pending court case or embarrassing news headline round the next corner;
  • A code reviewer or IT Director, you know with confidence the quality and ownership of your employees code
