By having a definitive set of licenses, and ways of encoding them in a standard fashion, we can move the ecosystem towards license compliance automation, which I care passionately about after having done way too much manual license detection work in my career. With over 30 years of experience in compliers and embedded computing, I’ve seen first hand the problems that companies go through trying to “do the right thing”, and respect the licenses. Automating the obligations, rather than relying on manual efforts is key to improving license compliance, and a trusted set of licenses with a clear understanding of obligations would help accelerate this. |[[image:Headshot-KateStewart.JPG||height="150"]]

Automating the obligations, rather than relying on manual efforts, is key to improving license compliance. The OSI is already home to a trusted set of curated licenses, and is an ideal organization to foster a curated and clear understanding of obligations associated with open source licenses.|[[image:Headshot-KateStewart.JPG||height="150"]]
