実は、事前にアジェンダを公開して、オープンに参加者を募るのってとても大事なんです。競合同士の会社が集まって業界標準を作っていくので、独禁法に抵触する可能性があるんですね。当日も、こんな感じで独禁法に関して周知がなされます。 (Open discussion is very important, because we heve to avoid antitrust risks)
Abstract: OpenChain standardizes license compliance requirements around the use of open source software in the supply chain. Customers purchasing from an OpenChain compliant company know that the software has been developed in line with a set of documented and tested procedures and that all the relevant meta data (SBOMs and compliance notices) is available. So what does that mean for you?
