Source Auditor is a software and services organization focused on identifying and managing Open Source code in commercial software products. Source Auditor has developed significant expertise, a large knowledge base, and sophisticated proprietary software scanning technology to help companies identify and manage their open source license obligations.  We have conducted over 100 open source audits working with F500 companies as well as small software startups across a wide variety of platforms including consumer electronics, enterprise software, and hosted service environments. We consider it our mission to help you manage the open source that is embedded inside your commercial software.

Source Auditor provides specialized expertise, a well developed analysis methodology, and a proprietary open source search engine, which work together to provide you with a fast, comprehensive, and accurate open source audit. 
 
Some open source audit tools only scan for copyrights and licenses, but often, open source is downloaded without the copyrights, and these tools would miss identifying such downloads of open source.  The Source Auditor search engine, on the other hand, compares your source code, line by line, against the actual code fingerprints of over 500,000 open source packages.  This database is continuously updated as new versions and new packages become available on the internet.  
 
Unlike other such tools which include large databases of open source packages, the Search Auditor open source engine is also fully aware of the genealogy of open source packages, and can pinpoint the exact origin of specific open source which may be available in dozens of open source packages.  Since the exact origin can drive the choice of associated license obligations, this is a key factor in creating a comprehensive and accurate audit.
