Sony Semiconductor Solutions(hereafter "SSS"), a subsidiary of Sony Group Corporation, is developing a device solution business centered on image sensors.

In this talk, we share our experience on how open-source-support team works with various product dev teams to ensure license compliance. SSS deals with many software products( from embedded firmware to cloud-based-solutions). To ensure license compliance, SSS created a dedicated open-source support team(part of OSPO) in Sony India Software Centre.

We showcase our streamlined license-clearance-workflow which has helped us to serve >250 license clearance requests for many product teams. You will get insights on how a centralized team of license experts augment product dev teams with licensing knowledge, suggestions for source code modifications, report generation, standards adoption SPDX SBOM. We also share the details about the tools we use for clearance. Towards the end of the talk, we share some benefits of a centralized team of experts (seamless sharing of licensing knowledge between experts, consistent quality of output,etc). As an effect, by unblocking License Compliance we have reduced the time to release for Product Teams.
