License Obligations Report (LOR) is a powerful new capability that augments the Overview and Detailed reporting capabilities of Protecode System 4™  product line.

Using information discovered during the automated analysis process and based on a series of questions about the end-application and the distribution format of the analyzed software, LOR creates an easy-to-understand list of tasks and obligations associated with the analyzed software.

License Obligations Report is another intelligent capability of Protecode System 4™ product components, significantly reducing the manual work required to ensure compliance with Open Source software licensing requirements.

Highlights

• Creates an itemized action list, such as “include source of the GPL license.txt in your distribution”.
• Manages packages with dual-license ambiguities.
• Automatically detects modified and non-modified applications of open source packages.
• Provides an instant, highlighted, reference to the actual text of the OSI (Open Source Initiative) license where obligation is stated.
• Much easier to understand than conventional software licensing reports for non-tech savvy individuals.
