Open Source Compliance Step One: Understanding Open Source Licenses
The essence of an open source license is a format contract that grants users the right to freely use, modify, and distribute open source code through specific terms. For open source compliance governance, you first need to understand the terms and conditions in the open source license.
The "Yuanyizhi" project is an open source public welfare translation project initiated by the Open Atom Open Source Foundation, focusing on the professional and community-based high-quality translation of open source related content such as open source licenses, judicial cases, professional books, key reports and community information , which aims to promote consensus through co-translation, promote communication and understanding between different contexts and jurisdictions in the field of open source, so as to feed back the open source ecology.
