SAN FRANCISCO, September 2, 2020 – The OpenChain Project announces Synopsys as the latest official OpenChain Partner.
“Black Duck, acquired by Synopsys in 2017, has long been recognized as a pioneer in the field of open source compliance tooling and management solutions,” says Matthew Jacobs, Director, Legal Counsel at Synopsys. “Encouraging and enabling organizations of all sizes to use open source in a responsible manner, respectful of the copyright holder’s intentions, requires a commitment to process and we are thrilled to join the OpenChain community in promoting adoption of, and commitment to, that process.”
“Matt Jacobs and the team at Synopsys have long been involved around the OpenChain Project via webinars and other outreach activity,” says Shane Coughlan, OpenChain General Manager. “It is great to welcome them into the program and provide additional freedom of choice for people seeking assistance from tooling vendors.”

実は、事前にアジェンダを公開して、オープンに参加者を募るのってとても大事なんです。競合同士の会社が集まって業界標準を作っていくので、独禁法に抵触する可能性があるんですね。当日も、こんな感じで独禁法に関して周知がなされます。 (Open discussion is very important, because we heve to avoid antitrust risks)
The full video minutes of our most recent OpenChain Korea Work Group meeting are now available.
Thanks to the efforts of Haksung and team we now have a recording of the recent OpenChain Korea Work Team meeting:
This meeting was held in Korean and will be useful to help inform and encourage companies in the region considering or working on adoption of our industry standard for open source compliance.
Abstract: OpenChain standardizes license compliance requirements around the use of open source software in the supply chain. Customers purchasing from an OpenChain compliant company know that the software has been developed in line with a set of documented and tested procedures and that all the relevant meta data (SBOMs and compliance notices) is available. So what does that mean for you?
Check out the webinar to learn why companies like Scania (Volkswagen group), Cisco, ARM, Facebook, Uber, Google, Microsoft, Sony and Qualcomm rely on OpenChain. We’ll cover:
•The history of OpenChain, steps to compliance and overall benefits •How OpenChain scales, and works for companies large and small •What happens when the 2.1 specification becomes an ISO standard in September 2020
