Training Course

Open source compliance depends on knowing what software is included, understanding its license obligations, and verifying that required materials match the delivered product. Through a practical software release scenario, you will evaluate component records, scan findings, and release evidence. The course also touches on AI-assisted work, supplier evidence, and acquisition due diligence.

Who Is It For

Engineering managers, program staff, product and release teams, and legal and compliance professionals who coordinate or support open source use. Particularly relevant to roles involving component information, compliance reviews, release materials, or evidence evaluation within an existing compliance process.

This course focuses on running an open source compliance process and evaluating the evidence it produces; launching a compliance program and operating specific tools are outside its scope.
