Features and Benefits
OpenLogic Exchange (OLEX) is a community resource that provides free access to:
OpenLogic Library of Open Source — Delivers on-demand access to thousands open source packages, hundreds of which have passed OpenLogic's rigorous 42-point certification process. Packages that have been certified by OpenLogic are clearly marked with badges. The library can be searched or browsed by category, making it easy to find the open source solution you need.
Expert Knowledge Base — Aggregates critical open source information including package descriptions, dependencies, licenses, ratings, security advisories, and comparison matrices. The consolidated information provided in the Expert Knoweledge Base dramatically reduces the time needed to research and select the appropriate open source solution.
Open Source License Reference Guide — Provides plain-English descriptions of the most common open source licenses as well as the full license text, making it easy for legal and compliance personnel to research licenses for open source packages and dependencies.
OLEX Enterprise Edition
Open source software often bypasses traditional procurement and approval processes because it's freely available for download from websites like OLEX. This makes it difficult for enterprises to ensure compliance with open source licenses, internal policies, and industry regulations. In order to reduce intellectual property risks, IT managers and legal and compliance teams need a centralized point of access to manage the use of open source software.
OLEX Enterprise Edition streamlines open source governance and provisioning by wrapping the OpenLogic library of open source with a multi-layered open source governance system. OLEX Enterprise Edition provides a centralized repository for enterprise open source software with integrated open source policy enforcement, online request and approval processes, and an audit trail of open source usage. OLEX Enterprise Edition subscribers also receive OpenUpdate email alerts on new versions and security patches.
