OpenChain Announces Three Consumer Devices Case Studies

By News

The OpenChain Project is delighted to announce three consumer device company case studies. These encompass company approaches, priorities and engagement with OpenChain. They are provided in anonymous format from major international stakeholders in both OpenChain and open source more generally.

“The OpenChain Project is first and foremost a way to build trust between companies,” says Shane Coughlan, OpenChain General Manager. “One of our most frequently requested items to support this process are case studies. Building on our prior releases of automotive case studies along with a raft of releases from Hitachi, Sony, Toyota, Fujitsu and Hitachi Solutions, these case studies offer direct insight into real-world open source compliance programs.”

These anonymous case studies are provided under CC-0 licensing, effectively public domain.
