Description:Using ISO 5230, The International Standard For Open Source License Compliance- Shane Coughlan, Linux Foundation
This talk will introduce and explain ISO 5230, the International Standard for open source license compliance. It will focus on practical understanding and adoption, explaining how user companies created a simple, effective and efficient standard to reduce errors and resource costs associated with open source compliance. Case studies will be used to illustrate real-world deployment across multiple industry sectors. We will end with an explicit walk-through of how your company can utilize the standard in the context of internal software process management and your external supply chain. This talk will help empower companies new to ISO 5230 and companies early in their adoption cycle to clearly frame the cost and benefits of engagement, and provide them with the tools to make full use of the standard.
Maestros is a webinar series developed for industry leaders to share stories and relevant content about intellectual property, patents and innovation.
With the increasing use of third-party open source software components, libraries and frameworks in building modern applications, the importance of managing open source software license obligations has never been higher. In the second episode of this series, you will understand why organizations such as Microsoft, Google, Facebook and Toshiba are adopting a standard for managing open source license compliance. Our guest speaker, Martin Callinan, will show you the requirements to conform, where you can get support and how to use a benefit from conforming to the standard.
Guest Speaker
Martin Callinan
Director at Source Code Control Limited
Martin has over 20 years’ experience providing organizations with strategies to manage business risks associated with open source software supply chains such as IP compliance processes, security vulnerability management and procurement. He is actively involved in the open source software risk management industry and is founder of the OpenChain (ISO/IEC 5230:2020) Partner, Source Code Control Limited.
Source Code Control helps organizations leverage all the benefits of using Open Source Software to create applications while minimizing risk such as Intellectual Property and security vulnerabilities. We want developers to be free to do what they do best and create and develop great software by creating processes to ensure IP and security vulnerabilities are not engineered into their solutions.
This talk explored the process of building and deploying the first Linux Foundation ISO standard in fourteen years in collaboration with the Joint Development Foundation. It explained why the evolution from de facto industry standard to formal standardization was important for open source compliance in the context of areas like sale, procurement and M&A. An equal amount of time was spent providing a guide to the journey itself, as the lessons learned are applicable to all projects building out specifications or code that seek worldwide, lasting adoption across multiple industries. The standardization process was framed in the context of timely engagement, with SPDX queued to be the second Joint Development Foundation PAS submission behind OpenChain, and everyone involved ready to support more projects undertaking a similar journey in the months and years ahead. In practical terms, it allows the audience to come away with a clear understanding of how we will take open source and standards to the next level.
WhiteSource will host a webinar at 11:00 BST on March 11th covering the use of Software Component Analysis in the context of OpenChain ISO 5230. Martin Callinan from Source Code Control will also provide perspective from his client engagement.
