OpenLogic Certification Process for Open Source Software

Open source technologies have proliferated through corporations as developers have incorporated open source into the enterprise infrastructure. As a result, enterprises are often using hundreds of open source packages with limited control over where they came from or visibility of how they are being used. This whitepaper documents the OpenLogic Certification Process which is used to select, accept and certify open source software packages before they are included in the OpenLogic Certified Library.

Although the value of open source is well recognized, enterprises want to know that the open source software they select meets minimum standards for integrity, quality and supportability. The OpenLogic Certification Process addresses these issues, making the OpenLogic Certified Library a trusted source for enterprises to find, research, and download hundreds of open source software packages. OpenLogic ensures that open source software:

comes from a reputable, viable community

uses a well-understood open source licensing model

meets basic quality standards

includes helpful documentation

provides a source for downloading reliable package distributions

meets standards for indemnification, support, and maintenance
