The Challenge
According to Black Duck’s 2024 “Open Source Security and Risk Analysis” (OSSRA) report, 97% of applications evaluated for the report contained open source components. While this high level of adoption is encouraging, open source license compliance remains a challenge for enterprises. The report found that 56% of all audited applications had license conflicts, and 33% had open source software components with no license or a customized license.
Similarly, in Perforce OpenLogic’s 2025 “State of Open Source Report”, 60% of respondents identified OSS security and compliance as a top challenge.
