What is a software license audit?

License problems rarely exist in isolation. Qodana combines:

Static code analysis: to catch bugs, code smells, security issues, and architectural problems, and Software Composition Analysis (SCA): to monitor dependency licenses and vulnerabilities

in a single report. The same Qodana run that detects nullability issues or security flaws can also tell you if you’re pulling in, say, a GPL-licensed library into a proprietary module.

This unified approach means that your engineering teams see license issues right next to code problems. Your legal/compliance teams get a concrete, reproducible list of affected components.
And, your CI/CD pipelines can enforce license policies as part of a quality gate, preventing builds that violate your policy from progressing.
