OpenLogic provides indemnification coverage for open source software in order to help protect enterprises against the intellectual property risks that can come with open source software. OpenLogic offers indemnification coverage for the hundreds of open source packages included in the OpenLogic Certified Library. No other open source solution provider offers enterprises indemnification coverage for such a broad range of open source software.
There are many benefits to using open source software, but in some cases there are lingering legal concerns around deploying open source in the enterprise. In order for enterprises to fully embrace a broad range of open source software, they need to be able to deploy, manage and control open source while limiting the associated legal and compliance risks. For the first time, enterprises can now access indemnification coverage for a broad range of open source products from a single vendor. By mitigating the intellectual property risks associated with open source software, OpenLogic enables enterprises to safely and securely use open source software and maximize cost savings.
OpenLogic's indemnification coverage provides financial protection if a third party files an intellectual property infringement claim against your company based on the use of open source software obtained from the OpenLogic Certified Library.
