"The Linux Foundation is delivering on its promise to help enterprises comply with open source licensing terms with a new self-assessment checklist.

"At the LinuxCon event this past August, the Linux Foundation officially announced a new license compliance program to help ease adoption of open source technologies. The checklist is one of the deliverables of the new compliance program, though it's not a complete solution to ensure that an enterprise is fully open source license compliance.
