Questions?
Good to know
Can GPL code be used in commercial products?
It depends on how it's used. GPL (copyleft) can require derivative works to be released under GPL too, so incorporating it into a proprietary product needs careful review before it ships.
How is source code protected?
Usually as a trade secret — which means treating it as confidential with real NDAs, access controls, and policies. Once it's disclosed without protection, that status is gone.
What is an IP assignment?
A document transferring IP ownership from the creator to the company. Without it, the person who wrote the code may still own it — a common surprise in diligence.
How are open-source dependencies audited?
Automated scanning tools flag the components and licenses in a codebase, but a lawyer interprets what those licenses actually require for your specific business and product.
Should I register software copyrights?
Copyright exists automatically, but registering major releases gives you the ability to sue for infringement and recover statutory damages — worth it for anything valuable.
