The OpenMAMA project aspires to two major goals through its compliance program:
First, the compliance program ensures that products, services or organizations that want to use the OpenMAMA trademark meet specific criteria including compatibility with other OpenMAMA products and services, conformance with best practices for OpenMAMA API usage, quality, and robustness.
Second, the compliance program endeavors to provide tools, documentation and other resources to assist participants in the OpenMAMA community in improving OpenMAMA and building the best possible products and services with and around OpenMAMA.
The tests and validation required for certification will be conducted by a body approved by the Linux Foundation.
As we launch OpenMAMA, the compliance program is a work in progress. More information will be posted here as the Maintainer and Steering Committee members work out the details.
The OpenMAMA Project is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1, also known as LGPL 2.1.
The OpenMAMA project will neither require nor accept copyright assignment for code contributions. The principle behind this is to avoid extra bureaucracy or other obstacles discouraging contributions.
Instead, OpenMAMA uses the Signed-off-by process. A valid Signed-off-by line is required for every code contribution.

OpenMAMA is a trademark of The Linux Foundation. Any product that will use the OpenMAMA trademark and logo must demonstrate that it is compliant with the OpenMAMA specification and being used in accordance with the Linux Foundation Trademark Policy. Approval is granted for a specific product and for the specific version and release of OpenMAMA.
The OpenMAMA trademark policy is linked with compliance to provide a clear indicator of compatibility between releases, product, and applications. This enables the OpenMAMA name and trademark to clearly and consistently communicate what is and what is not compliant with OpenMAMA in the marketplace.
Although the OpenMAMA Project has no intention of restricting your rights to use, modify or distribute code licensed under open source licenses, all requirements of the OpenMAMA Compliance Program must be fulfilled in order to use the OpenMAMA trademark in association with your product.
The OpenMAMA website guidelines are in place to clearly differentiate official OpenMAMA sites. We encourage community sites. However, if you are going to create a website about OpenMAMA and plan to use the word “OpenMAMA” in the site name or URL, or plan to use the OpenMAMA logo, you must adhere to these simple guidelines.
Because the OpenMAMA trademark is closely tied to the compliance program, it is very important that it be used correctly and appropriately. Unfortunately cases do arise where the OpenMAMA mark is used incorrectly or out of context. If you believe a use of the OpenMAMA mark to be questionable or causing confusion, please email trademarks@linuxfoundation.org. We will evaluate the use and, if necessary, will attempt to reach the owner of the questionable content with specific corrections and a deadline to become compliant. If there is no positive reply, a legal counsel will follow up.
The intention of this process is to ensure that a content owner who is acting in good faith but is genuinely unaware of the guidelines can be properly informed and have an opportunity to make corrections, prior to any legal intervention.
