OpenLogic’s Open Source Policy Builder outlines the key characteristics of best-in-class components of a comprehensive open source policy. Your organization can build its open source policy by answering the questions and formulating language expressing its choices in a policy statement.
The Policy Builder covers questions including:
- Which open source licenses are approved for use in company products?
- Will open source be distributed in company products?
- Are contributions to open source projects allowed?
- What kind of security/integrity review is required before open source software is procured?
- Who in your organization is responsible for understanding and ensuring compliance with the terms and conditions of open source licenses?
- Are company employees allow to speak publicly about the company’s use of open source software in products?
