Description

### Value Prop

With open source license compliance, you can easily see and manage the licenses for the open source dependencies in your projects. This helps you stay compliant with licensing requirements and avoid surprises, so you can focus on building software with confidence.

### Expected Outcome

We want to make it simpler for teams to identify and resolve open source license issues early in the development process. By giving you clear visibility and actionable alerts, we aim to reduce compliance risks and help you maintain trust in your software supply chain.
