on YouTube ↗01h 38m

" summary

Explains which licenses impose concrete obligations (BSD/MIT notices, AGPL for SaaS, Commons Clause/SSPL restrictions), shows real incidents to care about (Heartbleed and Struts) and names practical tools and standards (CVE listings, SCA scanners, palamida heritage, OpenChain conformance). Claims typical apps grow from a few dozen to thousands of components, cites dual-licensed examples (MySQL, MongoDB, iText, wolfSSL), and demonstrates remediation paths: replace, rewind, or resolve with vendor SLAs.
