About the OpenChain Project
The OpenChain Project builds trust in open
source by making open source license compliance simpler and more
consistent. The OpenChain Specification defines a core set of
requirements every quality compliance program must satisfy. The
OpenChain Curriculum provides the educational foundation for open
source processes and solutions, whilst meeting a key requirement of
the OpenChain Specification. OpenChain Conformance
allows organizations to display their adherence to these
requirements. The result is that open source license compliance
becomes more predictable, understandable and efficient for
participants of the software supply chain.
