# Earnie for Legal

> A clean, exportable bill of materials the moment the question lands, not assembled by hand under deadline.

You never run a scan. You consume the record.

## "The Acquirer Wants the Bill of Materials, by Friday"

An [SBOM snapshot](/en/latest/earnie/evidence/exporting-sboms) is a fixed, versioned artifact you can regenerate on demand. Every component's licence obligations are mapped down to the snippet, not just which licences are present, and a component whose licence couldn't be resolved is listed as unresolved rather than silently dropped, so you always know exactly what the deliverable does and doesn't cover.

## The Paperwork, Generated

The [Attribution Document](/en/latest/earnie/evidence/exporting-sboms#attribution-documents) renders the actual `LICENSE` and `NOTICE` text you're obliged to distribute, for every component in a snapshot's inventory, not a summary of it. It's frozen on first render, including when two requests render it at the same time, so re-downloading it later always returns those exact bytes.

## What's Next
