Keitaro has announced conformance with the International Standard for open source license compliance, OpenChain ISO 5230. Keitaro is an open-source solutions provider, committed to the values of openness.
“Keitaro is an important addition to the OpenChain conformance ecosystem,” says Shane Coughlan, OpenChain General Manager. “It is noteworthy that their self-certification marks our formal expansion into the arena of managed services. This is both a natural and important progression, not least given the dependence of so many entities on such providers.”
“We are extremely proud to announce that Keitaro adopted the ISO 5230.” said Marko Bocevski, owner of Keitaro. “Since our start, we have been delivering open-source solutions and are committed to contributing to the open-source community. As a result, achieving and maintaining intellectual property management is essential for our company and the supply chain. The adoption of OpenChain ISO 5230 at Keitaro will significantly enhance our potential to provide more reliable and consistent solutions to our customers.”
