Who benefits from the Black Duck Code Label?
Everyone in the software supply chain benefits from the Black Duck Code Label as it offers each constituent with a common language for how to describe the continents of software, rather than needing a translator at each stage. Internally, this will help senior management and legal staff to understand possible business issues, such as license impact and code reuse, while software engineers will be able to relay to management how their efficiency is increasing through the reuse of code components. Externally, business partners can compare their Black Duck Code Label against your company policy, so any potential conflicts can be assessed early in the development life cycle. Meanwhile, with the increase in lawsuits for the improper use of open source, more and more customers are requesting that companies audit and verify the composition of their code before a purchase is made.
