OpenLogic's Open Source Policy Builder outlines the key characteristics of best-in-class components of a comprehensive open source policy. Your organization can start to build its own open source policy by answering the questions and formulating language expressing its choices into a policy statement.

 The Policy Builder covers questions including:

• Which open source licenses are approved for use in company products?

• Who in your organization is responsible for understanding and ensuring compliance with the terms and conditions of open source licenses?

• What kind of security/integrity review is required before open source software is procured?

• Will open source be distributed in company products?

• Are contributions to open source projects allowed?

• Are company employees allow to speak publicly about the company's use of open source software in products?
