As a Management/IT Consultant I have performed Software audits at companies.
The BSA is group of 13 software companies (Micro$oft being the biggest) that are trying to use their collective muscle to increase revenues. They use the BSA as a front to scare people into compliance. If you want to ensure compliance, which is not necessarily a bad thing, check out Attest Systems. They have the most reasonably priced software audit tools available.
As a Linux Newbie, the better alternative is to go OSS.
