Open Source Initiative

Resource for information on Open Source licenses, communities, and education.

The Open Source Initiative (OSI) plays an active role in fostering the Open Source community, advancing education, and advocating the importance of non-proprietary software. OSI is engaged in Open Source conferences and events, facilitating interactions with Open Source developers and users, and engaging in discussions with both public and private sector executives. These conversations revolve around the economic and strategic advantages offered by Open Source technologies, licenses, and development models.

The OSI helps build a world where the freedoms and opportunities of open-source software can be enjoyed by all.
