Our Mission

Our mission is to promote open source solutions by providing a set of licenses that guarantee source code availability of software solutions, take advantage of the vast resources of the open source movement, and provide developers a way to generate revenue while still protecting the needs of the consumers.

The Open Public License guarantees open source availability and free unlimited distribution of software programs, libraries, and modules. Programs licensed under the OPL are freely and publicly available. The following versions of the OPL are available, each including instructions on how to apply the OPL to your program:

The following versions of the OPL are available, each including instructions on how to apply the LD-OPL to your program:
