You can now download enriched open source data normalized against Technopedia, which enables you to identify whether a particular software component in your environment or from the Technopedia catalog is open source, along with the type of restriction associated with it. Using this data, you can manage the risks associated with open source software selection and deployment and protect yourself from unintended open source consequences.

You can access the Open Source Content Pack by using any of the following methods:

•

Go to Flexera One's Data Export page (IT Visibility > Data Exports) and click Create Export. A compressed archive that contains multiple CSV files will be downloaded, which includes all files for the enriched open source data.
