"Understanding the presence and security of open source components in any code base is mandatory for effective software design and testing," said David Maxwell, open source strategist at Coverity. "As adoption of open source software continues to accelerate, the complexity of developing and managing applications will only increase. Collaboration between HP, Coverity and the other FOSSBazaar members will bring a unique perspective to the software development process that will benefit developers by helping them ensure the security and appropriate licensing of their free and open source code assets."

“Enterprises are already using a significant amount of open source software. Open source governance—including license compliance and open source policy enforcement— is key to making sure that companies can realize the benefits of open source software while minimizing the risks.

"As open source becomes more prevalent in the enterprise, companies need new tools to manage it," said Holger Dyroff, vice president of product management for SUSE Linux Enterprise at Novell. "The FOSSology project provides an easy yet powerful method for customers to learn exactly where open source is deployed inside their enterprise and under what license. Novell has unique expertise in helping companies deploy and manage both open source and proprietary technologies, and we look forward to contributing that expertise to the FOSSology project."

"Companies adopting free and open source software will save money and improve their ability to operate, but they need to understand the license requirements of the programs they use and adopt appropriate governance measures to ensure compliance with those requirements," said Eben Moglen, chairman, Software Freedom Law Center. "The principle of 'share and share alike' requires governance measures different than those for the protection of proprietary assets, but not more burdensome. Resources like those HP announced today can help businesses understand how to make using free and open source software in a compliant manner very simple, effective and profitable."
