OSI to Lead Discussions on Navigating the Challenges of Doing Business with Open Source

The Open Source Initiative (OSI) is set to lead discussions on the complexities faced by businesses working with open source software at the upcoming All Things Open conference. This event aims to address contentious issues such as licensing conflicts, business models, and the dynamics between corporate interests and community-driven projects. The discussions will explore challenges like balancing the needs of paying customers with non-paying users, organizing teams to engage with communities, and the impact of copyleft in the software-as-a-service (SaaS) context. The initiative seeks to counteract the trend of companies abandoning open source licenses for more restrictive models by highlighting the strategic value of open source contributions. OSI encourages businesses to submit topic proposals for a panel discussion, with selected participants contributing to a series of articles and joining an online discussion, culminating in a panel at the conference in Raleigh, NC, in October 2024.
