ON ACHIEVING SUSTAINABLE OPEN SOURCE PROJECTS Clause Samples

ON ACHIEVING SUSTAINABLE OPEN SOURCE PROJECTS. Long-term sustainability of a vibrant business ecosystem presupposes sustainable open source projects and associated communities. There are a number of business models used by companies involved in open source projects and fundamental to most is adherence to and appreciation of values and norms established in open collaborations. There are a number of factors which impact on establishment of successful and long-term sustainable open source communities. It has been noted that establishment of long-term sustainable communities is a challenge and some even consider it as an art8. For example, the extent to which an open source project successfully manages to attract and maintain contributions from talented contributors has shown to be an important aspect9. Previous research has shown mixed success for different open source projects concerning establishment of vibrant communities10. Similarly, another important aspect is collaboration between communities for a file format standard and communities for its implementation in open source software11. Further, an open source project needs to recognise and be adaptive to that there may be a number of different motivations for external contributors12. Use and reuse of software from different open source projects need to recognise and adhere to licensing and other (technical, legal, and cultural) conditions. For long-term sustainable open source projects (including software from PREFORMA) it is critical to adhere to all such conditions in order to successfully achieve intended goals. This includes strict adherence to licensing requirements when software is to be integrated with software from other projects. For example, if supplier A in PREFORMA wishes to integrate software from supplier B and C it is critical that all software strictly adheres to the same licensing requirements in order to allow for integration, distribution, and redistribution of integrated software. For further information concerning achieving sustainable open source projects, please see deliverable D4.3.
