Members Newsletter \u2013 January 2025<\/p>\n
Thank you for making 2024 the most generous year of all time: We had a record positive year across all the possible indicators. We\u2019re energized by your personal donations and eager to continue working with philanthropic organizations to continue supporting the whole Open Source ecosystem.<\/p>\n
Despite some churn in our list of sponsors, we are optimistic about the future. The\u00a02024 Annual Report Preview\u00a0has more details but suffice to say that we\u2019ve entered 2025 energized and our growing team is ready for new tasks.<\/p>\n
This year we\u2019ll make it clear that we got the back of the Open Source communities: we have great plans to add more resources to our website, support developers, entrepreneurs and lawyers developing software, AI systems and datasets. We want to do more with you, OSI supporters and individual members of all kinds. Stay tuned!<\/p>\n
The Open Source Initiative (OSI) is energized and optimistic, eager to achieve great things with your support in 2025.<\/p>\n

The Open Source Initiative (OSI) defines what open source is. For a model to truly be open source, its license should allow, among other things, the free redistribution and creation of derivative works, for example, by fine-tuning the model. If this permission is not granted, it\u2019s not open source.<\/p>\n
