Protecode Announces Pedigree Analysis and Reporting Program for Public Open Source
Projects

-- Complimentary Pedigree Analysis Service Now Available for Public Projects in the
Open Source Community --

Ottawa, ON - October 15, 2008 - Protecode Inc., today announced the
commencement of its Pedigree Analysis and Reporting program for public open source
projects. This complimentary service is dedicated towards the clean and unfettered
growth of open source software utilization. The analysis will be done using the
Protecode Enterprise IP Analyzer TM in conjunction with the Protecode Global IP
Server (GIPS) (tm) software governance tools.

"Recent court decisions have reinforced the need for acquiring full knowledge of the
complete pedigree of software projects and the proper handling of the licensing
requirements particular to each software component in order to avoid copyright
infringement and license violations of open source and 3rd party software modules,"
said Dr. Mahshad Koohgoli, CEO of Protecode. "Advanced automated software governance
and Intellectual Property (IP) management tools are becoming key business tools for
CEOs and legal officers. These tools help reduce business risks, ensure IP
compliance and protection and achieve higher revenues at lower costs with software
intensive products and services."

In addition to offering a pedigree map with the composition of a software project
and providing the necessary information for proper software IP management, Protecode
tools deliver a software bill of materials, a stepping stone towards safe and
profitable management of the software capital accumulated by the organization.

"With an increasing complexity of the software development processes and the
multitude of license variations within the use of open source software, IP and
copyright issues are becoming significant and businesses may experience delays in
projects, product sales cycles or business transactions from code IP contamination,"
according to analyst, Laurie Wurster, Research Director for Gartner Inc.

Pedigree reports of public open source projects are available at www.protecode.com.
Individuals interested in having their projects analyzed with higher priority are
welcome to contact Protecode by submitting their requests to info@protecode.com.
