GN5-2 D9.5 Open Source and Licence Support Report

This report presents the results of the GN5-2 Open Source and Licence Support activity, providing IPR and OSS licence management within GÉANT. Key achievements include updated licensing guides and templates, awareness raising and training, a five-part eAcademy course, consolidated SCA and SLA services, a certification framework with supporting web tools, and enhanced automation and governance. Forthcoming activities focus on automated licence data collection, broader adoption of certificates and badges, integration of compliance tooling, and expanded developer engagement. Together, these initiatives provide scalable, consistent support for GÉANT software teams, ensuring IPR Policy compliance while promoting efficiency, reuse, and best practice. The report contains valuable information for other projects of similar scope and breadth and should be of particular interest to NRENs.
