Computer software is a complicated construct composed of numerous diverse components. Open-source software is becoming ever more common as a building block in software. This phenomenon is accompanied by an increase in exploitable vulnerabilities, so being able to tell quickly what your software is composed of is becoming increasingly important - both in applications that you develop yourselves and the ones from suppliers and vendors.

Open source software has revolutionized the software development landscape, providing cost-effective solutions and promoting collaboration among developers worldwide. However, the legal terms associated with open source licenses can be complex, and improper management of these licenses may lead to significant legal risks.
