Open source software has gained significant popularity over the past several years. One of the major challenges associated with open source software development is managing and safeguarding intellectual property and copyright obligations. Robin Bloor, Partner, Hurwitz & Associates and founder of Bloor Research, said that while large corporations could avail of first generation tools for managed adoption of open source software, SMBs could not afford automatic processes and had to rely on trust and luck or the training of software developers on complex matters of licensing obligations. Products like Protecode s Software Lifecycle IP Management solution can change this scenario. There are five stages for the Open Source Adoption process, and Protecode provides solution for each of these processes. The first is the central definition of an Intellectual Property or IP and legal compliance policy acceptable to the organization project. This process is carried out by the development/business manager, together with legal counsel and captured in Protecode Policy Administrator.

The third stage is the real-time and unobtrusive detection of legal obligations of any new code brought into the project.

In the fourth stage, there is automatic analysis of any code that is checked into the organization's Source Control Management or SCM (1) (Software Configuration Management, Source Code Management) See configuration management.
