Reputation-gated source license marketplace for controlled OSS use

Reputation-gated source license marketplace for controlled OSS use targets a $6.0B = 200K software-consuming enterprises × $30K ACV (compliance + license guarantees + tooling) total addressable market with medium saturation and a year-over-year growth rate of 12% YoY (industry estimates for software composition, supply-chain security, and developer tools growth; sources: Forrester/industry reports on SCA and developer security).

Key trends driving demand: Supply-chain security attention is increasing — high-profile breaches and SBOM regulation pressure enterprises to buy provenance and licensing guarantees.; Vendors are moving to source-available or dual licenses — firms are seeking neutral ways to offer commercial rights without full closed-sourcing.; Enterprises are increasing budgets for OSS governance and compliance — this pushes demand for tools that provide auditable license provenance and warranties.; Cryptographic identity and verifiable credentials are maturing — this makes pseudonymous reputation systems technically feasible and auditable..
