summary

Universities routinely produce usable research software but often lack license inventories, centralized repos or long-term storage, so a pilot implements OpenChain ISO standard across three to four projects over six months, setting up a competence center, a GitLab-backed infrastructure, scanners and Software 360, and performing automated scan and remediate licenses work (covering copyleft/GPL incompatibilities, provenance and copyright notices) to enable legal distribution and tech transfer.
