"For the first time there is an International Standard that defines open source compliance and process management. We look forward to expanding our community from hundreds to thousands of companies in the coming months, and we look forward to supporting many of these companies access and apply best practice material developed in real world market conditions" says Shane Coughlan, OpenChain General Manager.
“ISO/IEC 5230:2020 will improve OSS compliance, enhance trust in the supply chain, and reduce friction in transactions. It has been deployed as a de facto standard for four years and fostered exceptional engagement from a diversity of companies across multiple sectors”.
Formally known as OpenChain 2.1, ISO/IEC 5230:2020 is a simple, clear and effective process management standard for open source license compliance.
Hopefully also this now eliminates doubts around crippleware, freeware, and other forms of licensing trying to masquerade as open source software. An ISO standard can be audited for proper compliance.
