FAQ
What are 'dependencies'?
Dependencies are other pieces of code (libraries or packages) that your project needs to work. Think of them like ingredients you use to make a recipe.
What are 'vulnerabilities'?
Vulnerabilities are security flaws that could be exploited by malicious actors. It's like finding a broken lock on your house that needs fixing.
What is 'license compliance'?
It's making sure you are using libraries according to the terms of their licenses. Some licenses might have restrictions on how you can use or distribute the software.
