Open Source Software Compliance
Overview
We currently use an asynchronous, daily cron job to check the compliance of our libraries (and check for vulnerabilities at the same time). If the NOTICES file needs changing, the cron job will generate a PR to update it.
The cron job leverages Bazel to generate the list of dependencies, and relies on BlackDuck to flag license violations and security advisories.
Licenses
Which licenses are or are not acceptable is maanged at the Blackduck level.
What if the check fails?
Checks can fail for a number of reasons. Here are the common ones:
- A library is using a license we don't allow. Check with security & legal to see if the license can be added; if not, remove the dependency.
- A library is incorrectly classified on BlackDuck: it should have an allowed license, but somehow the information on BlackDuck disagrees with that. Contact Security to sort it out.
- A library triggers a security notice. That will depend on the specific issue; in general, upgrading the library may help.
