# License risk management

When working with open source, it is crucial to ensure and maintain open-source compliance, also from a commercial perspective. To help with that, OpenText Core SCA provides you with a comprehensive overview of all licenses in the repositories you have integrated with us. You can find that information in different areas of the tool.
