ProtexAutomate Open Source Compliance

Black Duck Protex is the industrys leading solution for managing open source compliance. Protexintegrates with existing development tools to automatically scan, discover and identify software origins, anintegral step in the development process and essential for enforcing license compliance and corporate

policy requirements.

Features:

Fast, thorough discovery and identification of open source software (OSS) andproprietary software components

Easy to use browser-based user interface

Comprehensive license management leveraging theBlack Duck KnowledgeBase

Project review and approval automation withCode Labeland BOM reports Enterprise-class client-server architecture centralizes compliance data for shared access

and collaboration

The Black Duck KnowledgeBaseis the industrys most comprehensivedatabase of open source project information. Black Duck has searched theInternet for information on open source and downloadable code, making theKnowledgeBase an integral and unique asset. The KnowledgeBase helpsdevelopers find code and components, and includes information on onemillion projects from more than 7,500 sites, and contains detailed data for over2,300 unique software licenses (GPL, LGPL, Apache, etc.), including the fulllicense text and dozens of encoded attributes and obligations for each license.

Black Duckproducts leverage the KnowledgeBasefor: Deep License Datathat identifies "embedded licenses" to help organizations trust the

use of thousands of projects with no declared license. Deep License Dataalso exposesthose projects with no license data, which are generally determined to carry a high riskprofile.

Code search, scanning and analysis Ongoing, automated license compatibility notification Comparing software in any code base to the known universe of open source code, and

reporting matches Cataloging hard data that documents the code origin

Black Duckemploys a team of developers, affectionately referred to as spiders, dedicated to

maintaining the KnowledgeBase, along with supporting the technology infrastructure andprocesses that have been developed over the course of many years.

Features of KnowledgeBase: Extensive licensing information Compares code fragments, source files, fully-formed components and binary files

including executable files, static or dynamic libraries, images, icons, sound files, fontfiles, logo files and archive files

Custom code printing allows you to add internally developed or third-party licensed code

for future comparative analysis Quickly find and identify encryption software within products to automatically determine

the applicable export rules for the "crypto" elements

The Black DuckCode Labelprovides summary information, similar to an ingredient label onfood packaging, regarding what's in your code. Using the output from the code scanning donebyBlack Duck Protex, the Code Label indicates the existence of open source code, howmuch there is and what licensing data exists for each component. The Code Label allowsorganizations to reduce business risks by better managing code reuse and accelerating time-to-market by providing information that will more easily facilitate the release process.

The results of a complex code analysis are presented in a format thats easy for everyone inyour organization to understand:

Senior management and legal staff can isolate possible business issues such as licenseimpact and code reuse

Software engineers can drill-down into the report and demonstrate how their efficiency isincreasing through the reuse of code components

Business partners can compare their Code Label against company policies, so anypotential conflicts can be assessed early in the development lifecycle

During due diligence, the Code Label provides a high level view that illustrates codecomposition before a purchase is made
