Anytime/Web - A New Approach in Open Source Compliance

Software supply chains are increasingly complex and interdependent, fueled to a significant degree by the abundance and quality of open source code available. For example, in the mobile industry a typical handset has hundreds of software components, many open source, that are sourced and shared between a large ecosystem of suppliers. At the same time, many suppliers, large and small, struggle with how to comply with open source licenses.
The Linux Foundation, with support and participation from Black Duck Software and others, recently launched the Open Compliance Program and a new standardization effort, the Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX™), to address this issue.
Speakers:

  • Jim Zemlin, Executive Director of the Linux Foundation
  • Tim Yeaton, CEO of Black Duck Software
  • Watch this program to learn about the Open Compliance Program and how it can help facilitate compliance for your organization.
