Master professional English for open‑source license compliance. Learn how to write precise, defensible findings that stand up to legal review—using clear structure, neutral tone, and evidence-first language.

In this micro-lesson, we cover:
Why compliance writing matters: your words drive legal risk decisions and may face audit or litigation.
Scoping the component: artifact name/version/source, usage, modifications, and verifiable evidence (files, commits, hashes).
Stating the license precisely: license name + SPDX ID, key obligations, authoritative sources, and dual-licensing choices.
Mapping obligations to facts: turn clauses into actionable requirements; separate mandatory vs. optional; flag gaps.
Evidence-first writing: Claim → Evidence → Conclusion with file paths, line numbers, dates, and repository state.
Professional, neutral language: short active sentences, defined terms, remediation-focused phrasing.
Actionable remediation: owners, deadlines, acceptance criteria, and ready-to-use NOTICE/attribution blocks.
Making it review-ready: assumptions, versioning, policy links, ticket IDs, risk rating, and a clear summary.
