Case study
IPD Dynamics uses over 12,000 open source packages in its software products. MAKONIS helps to ensure compliance by scanning the code repository and automatically checking OSS packages for security and licenses. A defined set of rules facilitates the selection of suitable licenses, and constant updates ensure that the data is always up to date, making individual approvals for packages unnecessary.
