OSI (Open Source Initiative)

The Open Source Initiative (OSI) is a nonprofit organization that promotes and certifies open source software, which means software whose source code is freely available for anyone to view, modify, and distribute. OSI sets standards and provides licenses that ensure software remains open and collaborative. This fosters innovation, transparency, and community involvement, allowing developers and users to work together openly. Essentially, OSI helps ensure that open source software remains accessible and encourages sharing and improvement within the digital community.
