Increasingly, distributed teams are collaborating to assemble software from reusable components and their own proprietary code rather than building applications entirely from scratch. The component-based development model is fundamentally changing the software industry. It enables organizations that develop software, either for commercial sale or for in-house use, to accelerate project timelines, improve software quality, and reduce development costs. If not managed properly, the complexity inherent in this new world of mixed-IP (Intellectual Property) can pose business and technical risks to an organization. This paper draws on the experiences of the Black Duck Software team, our customers, and other industry experts to propose new approaches to managing IP in this new world. It describes a set of best practices that companies can use to avoid the risks and gain the benefits of the component-based approach to software development.}, issn = {1913-6102}, url = {http://timreview.ca/article/102}, author = {Doug Levin} }
