Recently, I’ve been contracting with a team at a large enterprise company that is open sourcing their first library. For many of us releasing an idea as an open source project is a 10-second decision, but for a large company with equally large clients, it can be a long drawn out process that requires multiple stages of due diligence.

Flexera offers tools for producers and consumers of open source software to help them along this journey, one that, with increased reliance on open source components, is becoming increasingly necessary and relevant. I spoke with Jeff Luszcz to discuss how their tools help, why they are needed now more than ever, and how to secure the Internet of Things.
