summary
Explains how legal and engineering align using concrete numbers and tools: Ericsson reports 32,000 new components last year and around 80% of product code is open source, so automation and inventory are mandatory; recommends OpenChain / ISO 5230 as a practical compliance framework, lists required artifacts (policy, training, inbound/outbound processes, contribution flow), links EU Cyber Resiliency Act obligations to supplier contracts, and shows how license compliance becomes a systemic risk‑reduction program.
