Case Study: Tigera achieves automated open source license compliance with FOSSA

Tigera automates open source compliance with FOSSA and scans every CI run

Tigera, the creator of the open source Calico project, needed to automate its open source license compliance program. Their previous tool provided only shallow dependency scans and required manual, error-prone work to assemble attribution notices, creating risk with frequent releases. They selected FOSSA to gain deeper scanning and automation.

FOSSA provided a solution with CI-integrated scanning, custom policies, and automated attribution notice generation. This eliminated compliance blind spots for Tigera, ensuring no license issues slip through and freeing the team from manual work. With FOSSA fully embedded, the team now ships with confidence, automatically updating attributions for every release.
