Getting Ready for a Code Audit Before a Sale or a Big Customer

Mon, 26 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Sooner or later someone outside the team asks what’s in your code. A company that wants to buy yours runs a scan as part of due diligence, or a large customer’s procurement team sends a questionnaire about open source. Both are asking the same thing: is there code in here that the company doesn’t have the right to ship the way it ships it?

The worst time to find out is when their report lands. A GPL file in the core product turns into a price cut or a promise to rewrite it before closing. Running the same kind of check months earlier turns it into an ordinary task.
