Whether you are on the buy-side and tightening your checklist to ensure ROI on an asset, or a seller looking to secure the best possible price, making sure there are no diligence surprises is key. Undoubtedly your company has a list of items that it examines during diligence, and maybe open source license compliance is one. But has open source security risk made it onto the list yet?
