Lucas and Luna examine the specific strategies companies like Snyk, WhiteSource, and FOSSA use to turn license compliance and security scanning into revenue. They break down why 'compliance as a product' works better than selling audits, how open-core companies are bundling compliance into premium tiers, and the surprising stat that 70 percent of open-source companies now offer some paid compliance tool.
