Projects today often have thousands of FOSS dependencies. Since risk flows downstream in the supply chain; projects inherit and pass on the risks of all their dependencies. In response, licensing bill of materials tools often seek to push well-formed licensing inventory data upstream in an effort to ease downstream compliance challenges. At the same time, there has been a stark increase in license violations, especially, though not exclusively, on copyleft licenses. Is this approach to improving compliance working?
Affirmative position: Compliance at scale through tool-driven assembly of bills of materials is essential for FOSS
