From upstreams through the supply chain to consumer products, open source sharing of code has enabled an unprecedented rate of innovation and new products. Complying with the respective open source licenses in the code is not always as easy as picking up the code and integrating it though. All to often, the licensing information for key software is overlooked, inaccurate or hard to find. Significant progress has been made in the last year to improving this, but there are some gaps still remaining. This talk will review the open source solutions available (and missing) for helping to make licensing compliance and security information more transparent, and able to keep up with the pace of innovation.
