Partners 

The tool manufacturer Black Duck Software and the consultancy firm SQS Software Quality Systems AG offer a joint service package for Licence Compliance Management. The solution protects companies against unintended licence violations by independently developed software. This even makes it possible to examine the legal status of components that a company sources from external third parties. Black Duck and SQS have concluded a partnership agreement to this end.

protexIP from Black Duck Software is the world’s leading product for the automated inspection of software components’ origin and licensing status. It is based on the world’s largest open source database in the form of Code Prints.

SQS AG is the sole partner of Black Duck Software for Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
