What BOSIF Is Not

Clear distinctions to avoid confusion with other organizations.

To maintain clarity and trust, it is important to outline what BOSIF does not represent.

BOSIF is not:

  • A commercial entity or services provider
  • A vendor-backed or vendor-controlled platform
  • A startup accelerator or incubator focused on equity or returns
  • A replacement for existing open source foundations
  • An exclusive or closed membership organization

BOSIF operates as a neutral, not-for-profit foundation, prioritizing ecosystem development, governance, and long-term sustainability over commercial or promotional interests.
