OSI welcomes the Decision of the European Commission on Open Source Software that will enable its software solutions to be publicly accessible whenever there are potential benefits for citizens, companies or other public services.
The lawsuit is a milestone moment underscoring the value of open source software to our society: we must vigilantly and proactively protect the rights of the both the user/consumer and those who have contributed code in good faith.
OpenLogic by Perforce and the Open Source Initative (OSI) are collaborating on a new survey exploring the state of open source software.
The survey, which will gather insights and identify trends on the adoption and challenges of using open source technologies, is now live and is open to all industry professionals working with open source software in their organizations.
If you care for Open Source, you must protect it and here is your chance to do something about it. Two things, actually. And one won’t cost you anything.
At OSI, we love open source software and open source communities— and so we protect them.
For over 20 years the Open Source Initiative (OSI) has worked to raise awareness and adoption of open source software, and build bridges between open source communities of practice. As a global non-profit, the OSI champions software freedom in society through education, collaboration, and infrastructure, stewarding the Open Source Definition (OSD), and preventing abuse of the ideals and ethos inherent to the open source movement.
Open source software is made by many people and distributed under an OSD-compliant license which grants all the rights to use, study, change, and share the software in modified and unmodified form. Software freedom is essential to enabling community development of open source software.
