Software Heritage Preservation

Preserving the OIN 2.0 Linux System

OIN is preserving the source code that makes up the Linux System definition with Software Heritage, the world's largest public archive of source code.

Archived with

The Linux System definition defines the scope of OIN's patent cross-license across more than 5,100 open source software packages. Pairing patent non-aggression with durable code preservation strengthens both the legal and technical foundations of open source.

Long-term access

Archived packages remain accessible even when upstream links break, repositories move, or organizations change.

Transparency and traceability

Direct Software Heritage links help developers, researchers, enterprises, and legal teams identify the source code covered by OIN's patent cross-license.

Verifiable preservation

Preserved source code is recorded with provenance and timestamps, adding clarity for compliance, auditing, dependency management, and patent risk analysis.

Ready for future tables

As OIN 2.0 expands through Table 14 and beyond, accepted packages can be preserved as part of a global, long-term software commons.
