Open Source

As open source developers and proponents of open source, we’ve closely observed the impact of free software on our world, and how that impact has been amplified by the global internet.

Built on Open Source Principles

Open source is at the core of what we do and we take an “open source first” approach when developing software, including our onboarding playbooks for Ansible, Terraform, and other platforms/tools to lower switching costs, avoid vendor lock-in, and develop technology agnostic platforms for customers.

We Also Support the Communities and Projects Pro Bono That the Internet Relies on:

cpan

Open Source / Internet

We are active and contributing members of internet governance bodies like the Global Peering Forum, NANOG, ICANN, ARIN, APNIC, and AFRINIC. These communities are critical for working out the pressing challenges that face us all as the internet grows and becomes ever more intertwined with our daily lives. The culture of friendly cooperation and ‘co-opetition’ between technical engineers and developers and the free exchange of ideas and information that make this so important.

The Four Essential Freedoms

  • The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0).
  • The freedom to study how the program works and change it so it does your computing as you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
  • The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help others (freedom 2).
  • The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others (freedom 3). By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
