Open Invention Network

Open source software has been one of the instrumental, driving forces of innovation this century. Software Heritage is an important organization for software, having already archived more than 6 billion unique source files. Archiving of code in a curated form maintains the technical and scientific knowledge that goes along with the code, preserving the innovation while also providing a means for determining prior art. We are proud to sponsor Software Heritage and to work with the organization to ensure that this valuable resource is available to the open source community.
