Nokia announces conformance with OpenChain ISO/IEC 5230:2020 to manage open source license compliance management in its supply chain. Nokia has been using and contributing to open source initiatives for decades as an active member of the open source community. Nokia implemented an open source compliance program as far back as 2004 and has had a multi-disciplined Open Source Program Office (OSPO) since 2014

Nokia leads the Telco Working Group in the OpenChain community.

“Nokia is excited to publicly announce our conformance with OpenChain”, says Jonne Soininen, Head of Open Source Initiatives. “Nokia’s mature open source processes and tools fit well within the OpenChain requirements. We believe it is important to have industry-wide recognized standards to provide predictability to various parties in the industry and across the supply chain.”

“The adoption of ISO 5230 by Nokia is a significant step forward for the telecommunications supply chain with respect to open source,” says Shane Coughlan, OpenChain General Manager. “Firstly, it shows how one of the most experienced companies in the world in the sphere is taking a leadership position in managing open source risk and efficiency. Secondly, it is a clear signal to the broader supply chain regarding how other companies can optimize their approach as well. We welcome this development and look forward to working closely with the Nokia OSPO in the years ahead.”

The OpenChain Project is delighted to announce that the OpenHarmony Project, hosted by OpenAtom Foundation in China, has adopted ISO/IEC 5230, the international standard for open source license compliance. OpenHarmony has adopted ISO/IEC 5230 via third-party certification provided by CESI, an official partner of the OpenChain Project.

“This certification is an important building block in OpenHarmony’s compliance management system,” says Xiaojian Liu, Executive Director of OpenHarmony, “Achieving ISO 5230 certification is a significant milestone for the professionalization of open source software management in OpenHarmony. We chose third-party certification via CESI to ensure our adoption had assessment from independent, accredited experts, and to support the highest possible quality in our process management.”

“OpenHarmony represents another excellent example of the OpenChain standards for open source license compliance or security assurance being used by projects to manage upstream processes.” says Shane Coughlan, OpenChain General Manager. “Building on the momentum we have seen with Eclipse Foundation and openEuler, our announcement today with OpenHarmony is another landmark in the maturity of the open source ecosystem. Indeed, OpenHarmony deserves special note as a third-party certification by CESI, underlining their productive engagement with OpenHarmony and OpenAtom Foundation.”
