***์๋ํํฐ ๋ถ์**Does your project have dependencies created by others or otherwise include or use others' code? If these are open source, you'll need to comply with the materials' open source licenses. That starts with choosing a license that works with the third party open source licenses (see above). If your project modifies or distributes third party open source material, then your legal team will also want to know that you're meeting other conditions of the third party open source licenses such as retaining copyright notices. If your project uses others' code that doesn't have an open source license, you'll probably have to ask the third party maintainers to [add an open source license](https://choosealicense.com/no-license/#for-users), and if you can't get one, stop using their code in your project.
***์์ ๊ธฐ๋ฐ:**Consider whether there is anything in the project that the company does not want to make available to the general public. If so, you could open source the rest of your project, after extracting the material you want to keep private.
***ํนํ:**Is your company applying for a patent of which open sourcing your project would constitute [public disclosure](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_disclosure)? Sadly, you might be asked to wait (or maybe the company will reconsider the wisdom of the application). If you're expecting contributions to your project from employees of companies with large patent portfolios, your legal team may want you to use a license with an express patent grant from contributors (such as Apache 2.0 or GPLv3), or an additional contributor agreement (see above).
***์ํ:**Double check that your project's name [does not conflict with any existing trademarks](../starting-a-project/#avoiding-name-conflicts). If you use your own company trademarks in the project, check that it does not cause any conflicts. [FOSSmarks](http://fossmarks.org/) is a practical guide to understanding trademarks in the context of free and open source projects.
***๊ฐ์ธ ์ ๋ณด:**Does your project collect data on users? "Phone home" to company servers? Your legal team can help you comply with company policies and external regulations.
If you're releasing your company's first open source project, the above is more than enough to get through (but don't worry, most projects shouldn't raise any major concerns).
Longer term, your legal team can do more to help the company get more from its involvement in open source, and stay safe:

***์ง์ ๊ธฐ์ฌ ์ ์ฑ :**Consider developing a corporate policy that specifies how your employees contribute to open source projects. A clear policy will reduce confusion among your employees and help them contribute to open source projects in the company's best interest, whether as part of their jobs or in their free time. A good example is Rackspace's [Model IP and Open Source Contribution Policy](https://processmechanics.com/2015/07/22/a-model-ip-and-open-source-contribution-policy/).

***Compliance:**Even if your company doesn't release any open source projects, it uses others' open source software. [Awareness and process](https://www.linux.com/blog/why-companies-use-open-source-need-compliance-program) can prevent headaches, product delays, and lawsuits.
Organizations must have a license and compliance strategy in place that fits both \["permissive" and "copyleft"\] categories. This begins with keeping a record of the licensing terms that apply to the open source software youโre using โ including subcomponents and dependencies.
