The benefits of being a stakeholder
The OAE project, which is similar to the prior examples in that it too is developing software that is architected to be deployed as a cloud-based service, has very intentionally adopted a distinctly different model which is 100% open. More specifically, the OAE Stakeholders group which governs the project has committed to the following:
-
release 100% of the code under an open license through a non-profit foundation (Apereo)
-
allow and assist others who wish to host OAE themselves;
-
give institutions complete ownership and control over their own data;
-
support the exporting and importing of OAE content to facilitate migrations;
-
and not prevent or charge a fee to third-parties who wish to build new OAE capabilities.
