OpenVendor is aligning its goals with the Open Source Initiative as its charter defines many of the goals of the open source community. For this reason it is important that our licenses are also approved by the OSI. Our licenses are also designed to protect the goals of commercial vendors. We will continue to adapt and change to find the balance between the two goals.
