The typical IP Policy for Projects under the LF Edge Foundation is Apache 2.0 for Code Contributions, Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO) for new inbound contributions, and Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License for Documentation. Projects under outside licenses may still submit for consideration, subject to review/approval of the TAC and Board.


Meets

  • EdgeX is an Apache 2.0 license project.  We require all contributions comply with this license agreement as stated in our Wiki below: EdgeX contributors guide

  • EdgeX policy to review new libs, modules, etc. brought into the project to insure anything we use (or is used indirectly by modules we bring in) is compliant with this license. https://wiki.edgexfoundry.org/display/FA/Vetting+Process+for+3rd+Party+Dependencies

  • We also conduct code scans regularly (with each PR) for any license compliance issues

  • Recently challenges are emerging with some third party products changing their open source license policy (Redis, Vault, Consul). This is being addressed in upcoming EdgeX releases

Upon acceptance, At Large projects must list their status prominently on website/readme
