Webinar: FOSS License Management through aliens4friends in Eclipse Oniro

By automation, licensing, News, Webinar

Welcome to another OpenChain Webinar. This time our speakers are Alberto Pianon and Carlo Piana from ARRAY. They are presenting the Open Source Management concept of Eclipse Oniro and explaining how deeper insights on the identification of the FOSS components and their respective license metadata can be uncovered via the audit policies for Oniro. This webinar is part of a series by the OpenChain Automation Workgroup to provide insight into good practices for community-based IP audits. These good practices will be used to align on a community-wide approach for metadata curation as base for sharing FOSS License Management Data.

Webinar: An Update On ClearlyDefined

By automation, community, licensing, News, Webinar

This webinar features an update on ClearlyDefined by Nick Vidal at the Open Source Initiative (OSI). A lot has happened since we last covered this project for open source metadata, including the move to a new home at OSI.

About The Project

ClearlyDefined and its parent organization, the Open Source Initiative, are on a mission to help FOSS projects thrive by being clearly defined. Lack of clarity around licenses and security vulnerabilities reduces engagement – that means fewer users, fewer contributors and a smaller community.

As such, the goals of the project are to:

  • Raise awareness about this challenge within FOSS project teams
  • Automatically harvest data from projects
  • Make it easy for anyone to contribute missing information
  • Crowd-source the curation of these contributions
  • Feed curated contributions back to the original projects

Webinar: An Overview of SPDX 3.0

By automation, community, licensing, News, security, standards, Webinar

This webinar features Alexios Zavras, Chief Open Source Compliance Officer at Intel Corporation and a long-term friend and collaborator around the OpenChain Project. This time the topic was SPDX 3.0, a significant generational update to SPDX, a sister standard to OpenChain ISO/IEC 5230 and OpenChain ISO/IEC DIS 18974.

SPDX is a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) specification, so it operates one layer down from the fundamental processes outlined by OpenChain’s standards, and it provides an excellent way to meet our requirements for an SBOM to be used by companies. The second generation of SPDX has been an ISO/IEC standard for two years as ISO/IEC 5962. The third generation shows interesting promise as a way to manage license compliance, security and more.

Webinar: OSSelot: The Open Source Curation Database

By automation, Featured, licensing, News, Webinar

This OpenChain Webinar features OSSelot, an open source curation database recently launched by OSADL in Germany. This project addresses one of the most requested features around open source automation for open source compliance: an open, public database supporting SBOM (via SPDX ISO/IEC 5962) for common software packages. This could be a game-changer.

Webinar: Semi-Automated Clearing Of Files With Proximity Matching

By automation, Featured, legal, licensing, News, Webinar

This webinar returned to automation topics with a review of how clearing can be made faster by using techniques like proximity matching. While approaches like this inherently depend on the technical ability of user companies, and their individual determinations of accuracy or risk, they do suggest avenues to increase efficiency-at-scale.
