Protecode company overview
Protecode is a private company based in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Protecode is a provider of open source license and security management solutions that can be used throughout the software development lifecycle to ensure license compliance. Protecode Enterprise System is a suite of tools for managing open source software licensing. Protecode utilizes a proprietary database of indexed public open source projects (Global IP Signatures Database) as a reference to compare against a software codebase in order to identify open source components and determine license obligations. The Protecode product suite produces a software inventory report, cross-referenced to licensing and copyright attributes, to indicate corresponding licensing obligations. Protecode also offers an audit service which can be used to produce an audit report, containing a software bill of materials and a license obligations report. Software audits are commonly requested prior to business transactions, like mergers and acquisitions or financing.
