Open source licence review for a commercial product
Inventories the open source libraries in your product, finds licence conflicts, and surfaces the source-disclosure obligations you are already under.
Strong copyleft licences can require you to publish your own source when you distribute. The issue usually surfaces during due diligence before a funding round or an enterprise sale — the most expensive moment to find it.
