M&A Due Diligence
During mergers and acquisitions, potential buyers need a thorough code audit to identify technical debt, open source liabilities, or licensing violations that might affect the valuation or complicate post-merger integration.
Unknown Security Risks:
Acquired code might have unpatched vulnerabilities or risky libraries.
License Violations:
The target’s usage of GPL or other licenses might hamper closed-source commercialization.
Time Pressures:
M&A deals often have tight due diligence windows.
