OpenChain 開源合規業界標準 – 有效管理使用開源軟體的法遵之道
by 林上智 (SZ LIN)Lucien C.H. Lin 林誠夏漢語

OpenChain是開源軟體使用在企業供應鏈裡的合規及法遵建議流程，它讓軟體供應的上下游在交付上都有所依循，並且能融入與開源軟體開發社群的互動之道！

OpenChain是開源軟體使用在企業供應鏈裡的合規及法遵建議流程，它讓軟體供應的上下游在交付上都有所依循，並且能融入與開源軟體開發社群的互動之道！

開源軟體 (Open Source Software) 在這幾年成為資通訊領域的主流趨勢，舉凡從 5G (ORAN)、區塊鍊、 AI、Cloud、到 Embedded Linux 等等，從應用層到 driver 層都已經被大量使用。從消費端到工業應用，業界已非常頻繁的使用開源軟體 (Open Source Software) 來整合或進行二次開發。

然而，開源軟體在著作權利上並非無主物，使用開源軟體在合規及法遵面，第一步就是要遵循並履行該開源軟體的授權條款義務，如使用 GPL 授權的程式就要依散布情境來提供程式源碼給程式的收受者，並且標註修改等等。如何多元取用開源軟體，又能妥善合於各開源條款的規定，就是商業利用者或會覺得困擾，但又不得不正向處理的當前要務。而為了讓企業產業鏈之間，能合規且有效的管理並使用開源軟體，Linux Foundation 成立了 OpenChain 專案，由多所跨領域之企業分享其管理流程，並進而一同制定開源合規的流程及規範。

OpenChain 這套管理流程，即將在今年成為 ISO/ IEC 國際標準，此次分享會的主軸在為9月OpenChain TW Group的公開活動作引，介紹 OpenChain 最新規範以及業界狀態，並以實例說明，透過導入 OpenChain，如何讓產業能兼務社群交誼和互動，除了讓組織能統性且有效率的管理開源軟體，亦能同時降低企業風險，以及減少研發資源不必要的花費。

Bitsea, a company helping customers to analyse, assess, and optimize Software Development processes, has joined the OpenChain Partner program. This marks another significant expansion of the OpenChain ecosystem into the German software industry, and provides another milestone in our preparation to support our growth as a formal International Standard in Q4.

“Bitsea is delighted to join the OpenChain Partner program,” says Dr. Andreas Kotulla. “We have a long history of supporting excellent in open source and we look forward to helping our customers and adjacent companies understand and apply the OpenChain standard for quality open source compliance programs.”

“A key pillar of the OpenChain community is support,” says Shane Coughlan, OpenChain General Manager. “A great deal of this support is provided by our local and global work groups, consisting largely of user companies. However, there is a substantial proportion of this support provided by partners, and they provide a vital role in ensuring the sustainability of our industry standard. Bitsea will help bolster our support network and their deep experience will benefit everyone seeking to build out a quality open source compliance program.”
