This model policy addresses the use of free and open source software (FOSS) by a company for its internal operations or products or services it develops for distribution to third parties. It features important drafting notes and tips, and can be used as a stand-alone policy document, incorporated by reference in a general company IT policy or included in an employee handbook in abbreviated form. It is jurisdiction neutral but must be tailored to suit the organization's managerial structure, resources and strategic goals. It is available with a free, no obligation trial to Practical Law's online service.
