Building Trust In The Supply Chain Since 2016

Our Vision is a supply chain where open source is delivered with trusted and consistent compliance information.

As part of this we maintain OpenChain ISO/IEC 5230, the International Standard for open source license compliance. This is a simple, effective standard suitable for companies of all sizes in all markets. It is developed openly by a vibrant user community and freely available to all. It is supported by free online self-certification, extensive reference material and official service provider partners.
