SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO ANALYZE OPEN SOURCE COMPONENTS IN SOFTWARE PRODUCTS

摘要

Considering the number of OSS components and the number of OSS license types available today, the number of license attributes to be considered for analyzing a product at a granular level is a challenge to perform manually, prudently considering legal implications of non-compliance and contamination and also within the limited time available today before go to market in the software industry. Systems and methods of the present disclosure intelligently facilitates a matrix which is able to identify OSS components in a deliverable and also facilitates the product owner to identify proprietary IP that can be suitably protected and licensed without contamination by the accompanying OSS components in the product under consideration. License attributes of the OSS components are mapped suitably and a final attribute is derived for each OSS component embedded in the product under consideration.
