“Open source software is everywhere these days. In
particular, Linux is being used increasingly to power embedded
systems of all kinds. That’s good, but it’s also a challenge,
because the free software used in such products may not always be
compliant with all the licences it is released under –
notably the GNU GPL. For companies that sell such embedded systems
using open source, it can be hard even finding out what exactly is
inside, let alone whether it is compliant. Enter the new Binary
Analysis Tool:“The Binary Analysis Tool is a modular framework that assists
with auditing the contents of compiled software. It makes it easier
and cheaper to look inside technology, and this helps compliance
and due diligence activities.”
