Summary

Snyk has introduced a new feature called "Legal License Instructions" that allows legal teams to customize license instructions for developers, enabling them to shift compliance left by providing clear explanations for their developers on how to handle licensing issues. This feature is designed to empower developers to take ownership of license compliance and collaborate with the legal team to ensure proper credit and usage requirements are met. With this new feature, Snyk aims to make license compliance more accessible and easier to integrate into developer workflows, reducing the complexity associated with open-source licenses. By customizing license policies with clear instructions, developers can bake license compliance into their regular workflows more easily, supporting the legal requirements for organizations.
