Protecode Incorporated develops, sells, and supports tools for managing open source software licensing. [1] [2] Protecode utilizes a proprietary database of indexed public open source projects as a reference to match against other software libraries to identify open source components and cross-reference corresponding license obligations. The Protecode product suite produces a software inventory report cross-referenced to licensing and copyright attributes to indicate corresponding licensing obligations.[3] In addition to a product suite, Protecode offers an audit service [4][5] where Protecode Professional Services can be used to analyze software licensing in situations such as upcoming business transactions like M&A. Protecode scanning technology is available as a pre-integrated option with a variety of other platforms and services including:
- A plug-in for Eclipse since 2008 to provide automatic code scanning for Eclipse-integrated code libraries.[6]
- A scanning option from Open Logic [7]
- Microsoft Visual Studio [8]
Awards
- In May 2010, Protecode was included in the “Cool Vendors in Intellectual Property, 2010” report by Gartner, Inc. [9]
