Eclipse Foundation Projects are OpenChain Conformant

Tuesday, October 19, 2021 - 09:46 by Mike Milinkovich

Today we announced that the Eclipse Foundation is the first open source foundation to confirm its open source development process conforms with the OpenChain ISO 5230 international standard for open source license compliance. This means that every Eclipse Foundation project is being developed under a process which conforms to the ISO 5230 standard. The announcement is great news for our open source software contributors, users, adopters, and stakeholders globally.

The OpenChain ISO 5230 standard is officially known as the OpenChain 2.1 ISO/IEC 5230:2020 standard, and is maintained by the OpenChain Project. Its goal is to provide a clear and effective process management standard, so that organizations of all sizes, in all industries, and in all markets can benefit from a more efficient and effective open source supply chain.  

The time and effort we put into documenting that our existing development processes comply with the OpenChain ISO 5230 standard will help strengthen global supply chain integrity, and showcases our commitment to supporting our members and all of our projects’ downstream adopters.

Supported by Leading Organizations Globally

Before it became an official ISO/IEC standard in December 2020, the OpenChain initiative was the de facto standard for several years. The standard was developed based on the contributions of more than 100 project participants, and supported by organizations including Arm, BMW Car IT, Bosch, Cisco, Comcast, Ericsson, Facebook, Fujitsu, Google, Hitachi, Huawei, Microsoft, MOXA, OPPO, Panasonic, Qualcomm, Siemens, Sony, Toshiba, Toyota, and Uber. 

The breadth, depth, and diversity of organizations involved in developing the OpenChain ISO 5230 standard clearly demonstrate the importance with which the initiative is viewed across industries. The availability of the official, published standard is expected to increase conformance from hundreds of organizations to thousands. But to my knowledge, the Eclipse Foundation is the first open source foundation that has done the work necessary to document that all of our projects are developed under an OpenChain conformant process. This is an important milestone for both the Eclipse Foundation and for the OpenChain standard and its community.

Learn More and Get Involved

Because the OpenChain ISO 5230 standard is open, everyone with an interest in the initiative can engage with the community, share their knowledge, and contribute to the future of the standard.
