CMMI finding the missing link

I do understand that every lifecycle of a project has the quality procedures in place limited to its checks and bounces but the other phase is silent on its legal impact while development. I mean do we really safeguard the child when she is in class 3. Yes i am calling for the attention on phases which could land up in infringement, maybe the mother document speaks of phases and its ownership, but did not get right through on the class 3 ownership aspects. If i purchase a software over the shelf and that forms a part of project that could be a basis for developing other projects, does it attract a sale with connected taxes or the Royalties. Courts have their narrations on Regulations or using rights but what matters is the litigation. Do we need the audit regularized i mean the legal audit should be a part of CMMI that could be duly certified which would fix the mix through ADR's.
