Understanding what must be done to comply with license obligations takes knowledge and discipline. Companies achieve complete compliance only through a comprehensive process of audit, disclosure, review, and recordkeeping, not by ad hoc last-minute actions. Failure to comply can carry severe consequences, potentially including loss of license, compromise of intellectual property, lost ability to ship product, breach of contract, and financial penalties. The Linux Foundation now offers comprehensive training on open source compliance from industry experts, along with tools, information, and guidance to assist organizations in achieving their compliance objectives
