The O-RAN Software Community is a Linux Foundation project supported and funded by O-RAN to lead the implementation of the O-RAN specifications in Open Source. The project leverages the Apache 2.0 License.
The O-RAN Specification Code Project is an O-RAN ALLIANCE project. Its objective is to allow contributions that will acknowledge essential patents. The project leverages the O-RAN Software License.
To contribute code under either software project a contributor will be asked to agree to the software Contributor License Agreement (CLA).
The CLAs are managed by Linux Foundation common CLA management platform. Each project license will be handled separately, so contributors can agree to one or both licenses. There is a corporation management function as part of the CLA platform that can support whitelisting of contributors to simplify contributor management from the same company.
