The premise
AI can audit open-source licenses across a codebase, surfacing copyleft exposure, attribution gaps, and license-compatibility conflicts before a diligence event forces the conversation.
What AI does well here
- Walk every dependency manifest and produce a license inventory with risk classification.
- Surface copyleft licenses (GPL, AGPL) reaching code paths that ship to customers.
What AI cannot do
- Decide whether to remediate vs. relicense vs. accept residual risk on a given dependency.
- Replace counsel on novel license interpretations or license-bundle interactions.
