What We Do
OpenSource.ngo focuses on research, education, and modern license development to strengthen the global open source movement and protect the core values of open source software.
We collect and catalog open source licenses from across the internet with clear provenance, context, and accessibility.
We publish practical resources for license selection, compliance, and responsible open source governance.
We draft new licenses for AI, data, and emerging technologies with ethical safeguards and human rights protections.
We advocate for open source values, anti-censorship principles, and the protection of global digital rights.
We help developers and organizations worldwide navigate licensing choices and open source responsibilities.
