IBM’s contribution to Open Source
IBM invests in communities and helps shape programs that can deliver characteristics that matter to our clients and partners. We value open governance because it ensures the long-term success and viability of those projects that form the foundation of our enterprise offerings and solutions.
For example, IBM donated 44,000 lines of code to the Linux Foundation’s Hyperledger Project while providing new blockchain-as-a-service offerings on the IBM Cloud. IBM worked with other industry leaders in the Hyperledger Project because we recognize the long-term value of open collaboration and a cross-industry open standard for distributed ledgers.
We’re also investing in more and more open source from within IBM development and research labs.
